The Pittsburgh Penguins can’t catch a break.

Just weeks after they were ousted by the Rangers in the Stanley Cup playoffs, the NHL team was humiliated again Thursday — when it tried to outwit the Discovery Channel on Twitter.

“On average, emperor penguins grow to be 3.8 feet tall,” the channel tweeted.

In a failed attempt at humor, the hockey team tweeted back, “As of May 13, 2015, the average Pittsburgh Penguin grows to be 6’1’.”

The channel checked them into the boards:

@penguins Strange. Our latest observations show no Penguin activity currently on ice in Pittsburgh. Where did they go?
