I’ll be honest. At this point in the season, I’m running out of ways to find moral victories. Coming into the final home game of the season, I knew things were likely going to get ugly. The Penguins are a damn-good team.. and Evgeni Malkin loves making our lives a living hell. The good news is that just across town: a long-anticipated historic moment in Detroit sports.
One thing was clear out of the gate: the ice looked poor. Players were falling left and right, most of them Red Wings. Detroit found themselves hemmed into their own zone several times because that’s what this Penguins team does.
