It won’t go down as one of the NHL’s all-time thrillers. To borrow from color analyst, Colby Armstrong, the game was a bit of a “dog’s breakfast.” A chum-bucket special, particularly during the final 40 minutes, when the Penguins managed to squeeze off just 11 shots on goal after piling up 11 in the first period alone, not to mention a three-goal lead.
However, until the NHL starts doling out style points, a win is a win is a win, and we’ll gladly take it and run.
Determined to make amends for a sleepy, disjointed effort on Friday, the Pens came pouring out of the starting blocks.
