I hate when coaches use hackneyed old phrases and clichés. It used to annoy the life out of me when former Penguins coach Dan Bylsma summed up his team’s woes by saying, “We need to get to our game.”
Nor I am a huge fan of Mike Sullivan’s favored mantra, “Playing the right way.” But that’s exactly what we did last night during a feel-good 5-2 victory over the pesky Devils in Newark. We played the right way.
It was arguably our best overall effort since a strikingly similar 5-2 triumph over Toronto way back on February 18 vaulted us, temporarily, into first place in the Metropolitan Division.
