For the second leg of a back-to-back, the Blue Jackets held a 3-1 lead after the first period. Yay! They even added a goal early in the second to go up 4-1! Yay? Nah, I think we were all holding our breath there, especially as the Penguins cut it to 4-2 after 40. Sure enough, the game was tied in the final minute and then won by Sidney Crosby in overtime, as a bulge of Yinzers belched their meat-and-nicotine breath all around me.
