Wow.
I mean double WOW. As I watched our Penguins knock the stuffing out of the favored Rangers in Game 4 last night, I was reminded of our back-to-back losses to the Flyers and Oilers only a couple of weeks before. Defeats so listless, onerous and utterly reprehensible, I thought they’d surely brought the final curtain down on the Sid-Geno-Tanger era.
No way we’d find the elusive on-switch to our game. Especially after months of mediocre hockey at best. And especially against a tough nut like the Rangers.
Yet there we were last night, authoring a consummate playoff performance.
