Yes, the dreaded PenguinPoop curse is alive and well. No sooner do I write in my prior game summary that I’m really impressed with the Penguins new-found discipline and structure than both go out the window in a sloppy, slipshod, run-and-gun-fest 6-3 loss to Montreal. A team that doesn’t exactly represent the NHL elite if you get my drift.
Oh well. As the old saying goes, you can’t win ‘em all.
To be fair, Jake Allen played a superb game between the pipes for the Canadiens, stopping 47 of the 50 shots he faced.
