Penguins Go Gently into the Night

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of light.

If only our Penguins had heeded the words of Dylan Thomas and put up a fight in Game Four of their qualifying round series against the Canadiens. Instead of going out on their collective shields as champions are supposed to do, they went oh so gently into the night.

In a shockingly tepid performance, the Pens tested Montreal goalie Carey Price only 22 times, a remarkably low total considering their postseason lives were on the line.
