It may be a bit of an understatement to suggest that things didn’t go well for our Penguins last night. Indeed, after watching them stumble to a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Consol Energy Center, one might be tempted to ask if the magic dust has worn off our glorious postseason run.
Yes, the boys rang up a 35-20 advantage in shots on goal—including a gaudy 16-5 edge in the third period. But the Pens fell into some old, bad habits. Such as overpassing in search of the perfect shot.
