Before I launch into my recap of last night’s Metro set-to with Carolina, I must state what an incredibly entertaining game it was. Replete with more plot twists than a knife-edge, Alfred Hitchcock thriller.
And I absolutely couldn’t be more proud of our Penguins and the effort they gave, even if they ultimately wound up on the short-end of a 5-4 shootout loss.
Just an incredibly gritty, gutsy, resilient performance by our guys.
The game didn’t start so well for the boys in black ‘n’ gold. Indeed, the swarming, forecheck happy ‘Canes poured out of the starting gate.
