So close…and yet so far.
That’s the best way I can describe the Penguins’ 3-2 loss to the Stars last night at American Airlines Arena.
Coming hot on the heels of our scintillating triumph over Colorado, I really wasn’t expecting much. Not on such a tight turnaround. Not with our old legs. And not against a tough and talented team like the Stars.
Yet the Pens authored another gutty, gritty effort that in many ways was even more valiant than the previous night’s work given the wholly unfavorable circumstances.
Indeed, our guys emptied the tank, leaving nothing on the table.
