Penguins Beat Goes On

Early in 1967, iconic recording duo Sonny and Cher released The Beat Goes On, a pop classic that rose to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. For some reason the catchy tune (“lawdy dawdy dee, lawdy dawdy dah”) reminds me very much of our Pittsburgh Penguins, present vintage.

Last night the black and gold overcame a 1-0 deficit in Calgary, no easy place to play because of the altitude (3428 feet above sea level) and opponent, to grind out a methodical 4-1 win. In the process, dousing the piping hot Flames (7-1 in their last eight games) with a bucket of ice water.
