Sounds like a line from a Muddy Waters song. The Penguins got ‘dem heavy team blues.
A shame I’m not referring to an old Delta blues tune. Or even the St. Louis Blues, the bruising denizens of the Western Conference who delivered more than a few lumps en route to a 3-0 drubbing of the black and gold at PPG Paints Arena last night.
I’m talking heavy teams in general.
I’ve been concerned all year about how the Pens have fared against brawnier competition. Especially in the wake of twin 7-1 embarrassments meted out by Columbus and Washington, Metro Division rivals that combine skill with bulk.
