Penguins Put the Ugh in Winning Ugly

In the late 19th Century, Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a popular novelette titled The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll, on the surface an upstanding citizen in every way, secretly concocts a potion meant to enhance his goodness. However, upon consuming the elixir, his inner demons are unleashed and he transforms instead into his barbaric alter-ego.

Last night’s 3-1 Penguins triumph over Carolina at PNC Arena was kinda’ like that, only in reverse. The Pens started the game in full Mr. Hyde persona before morphing into the good doctor in time to salvage two points.
