This is a pretty special Pittsburgh Penguins team we’ve got here.
Last night they eliminated the Washington Capitals, avoiding a game seven and nabbing the second spot in the Eastern Conference Final. Their next obstacle in the race to the Stanley Cup is the Tampa Bay Lightning.
For the first half of the game last night, the Pens did everything right. The second half… not so much. Their implosion was so infuriating that I couldn’t even manage to put it into words for a game recap. Now that it’s a few hours later and we came out with a win, it’s easier to look at the positives of last night.
