Then I noted Mike Sullivan’s post-game comment to his players. “Let’s not get discouraged,” our coach said. “But if there’s any takeaway, the takeaway is, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”
I guess it’s unanimous.
I confess I didn’t see the game, but tracked it on NHL.com. When I saw Brock McGinn had scored just 1:42 into the opening frame, I figured that indicative of how the contest would go. After all, the Penguins dressed a veteran-laden lineup. With a few minor tweaks, basically the lineup we’ll use to start the season.
