I don’t know about you. But I was absolutely stunned (stunned!) by the Penguins’ performance in Game 1 on Monday night. Especially after absorbing a physical beating early on and going down 2-0. They displayed incredible resilience, not to mention a boatload of heart and character.
Honestly, I didn’t think they had it in ‘em. Not after watching us roll over in disquieting losses to the Flyers and Oilers the final week of the regular season. To say nothing of our less-than-inspired in-season performances against the Rangers.
However, as our guys emphatically demonstrated on Monday night, it’s a brand-new season.
