It’s come to this.
In the wake of the Penguins’ 3-1 loss to the Panthers last night…our fourth loss in a row…TV color analyst Mike Rupp groped for a silver lining by stating, “This one feels different.”
Colby Armstrong and Jay Caufield parroted those sentiments in the studio during the post-game show.
I won’t deny our guys gave a better account of themselves (they hadn’t set the bar too high of late). And I fully understand the need to latch onto a positive…any positive. Still, when you’re trying to spin a loss, competitive or otherwise, as some sort of victory?
