Last Thursday our Penguins were riding high after bumping off the Red Wings to claim the second Eastern Conference wild-card spot. Our destiny was squarely in our hands.
And now? Following a nightmare on Elm Street (or Center Avenue) Saturday that saw our Pens lose to the Bruins while the Wings, Capitals and Flyers all unexpectedly won, we have to win our final two games and get help to squeak in.
No easy feat, given our opposition. Indeed, tonight’s foe…the Predators…are a solid, underrated hockey club. Well coached by Andrew Brunette, too.
If we somehow triumph?
