Recap: Pens clinch ticket with Rangers after 5-3 victory over Columbus

“When they look back in the annals of history, people are gonna be talking about three things: the discovery of fire, invention of the submarine, and the Flint, Michigan Mega Bowl Penguins beating the Blue Jackets to secure third place in the Metropolitan Division.”

Much like Will Ferrell in Semi Pro, the Penguins engaged in a fairly meaningless game, since as results would go the Capitals lost and it ultimately didn’t matter what the Pens did tonight in order to clinch the third seed. By doing so, the Pens punched their ticket to play the New York Rangers in the first round (and avoid playing the Presidents Trophy winning Florida Panthers).
