Just like most Penguins fans today, I was hoping to wake up and realize that the series loss against Montreal was just a bad dream and that the games really begin this Saturday. But it’s not a bad dream, it’s reality. The Penguins season is officially over thanks to the 24th best team in the league this year.
It’s certainly not a good day to be a Penguins fan, but it could also be much, much worse. It wasn’t that long ago we were celebrating back-to-back Cups as Penguins fans. This is how most fans feel every year.
