Angry Penguins fans chant 'FIRE HEXTALL' during blowout loss to Oilers

The Pittsburgh Penguins got absolutely outclassed and embarrassed on home ice by the visiting Edmonton Oilers this evening.

The Oilers scored an easy 7-2 victory thanks to a lackluster effort from the Penguins, which is quickly becoming a common story for this Penguins team. The team has lost four straight and is at serious risk of missing out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs in nearly two decades. The reality is that if this team doesn't get its act together in the next while, they're going to miss the playoffs and there will be massive changes in the organization, both on the ice and in its management ranks.

GM Ron Hextall has received some well earned criticism from the team's fanbase this season, but tonight Penguins fans took it to another level. The crowd at PPG Paints Arena broke into several "FIRE HEXTALL!" chants during the course of the game.

Yikes...

Things are about to get ugly in Pittsburgh. I can't imagine what kind of offseason gutting we'll see if this team comes up short of the post-season.
