There I was, sitting in front of the TV watching the time dwindle down to 0:00. The Penguins players gathered around their rookie goalie Matthew Murray, who came into the series in game 3 after recovering from a head injury. The Penguins had just knocked the New York Rangers out of the playoffs in 5 games, with this game ending with a score of 6-3.
The series was embarrassing. The New York Rangers gave up 5 or more goals in 3 of the 5 games and looked like they didn’t belong in the same rink as the 2nd seeded Penguins, but yet, it didn’t faze me.
