Former Penguin Alex Kovalev let some feelings out (in, to be fair, an interview translated from Russian)
Tough not to agree with Brian Metzer here-
This still makes me irrationally angry to this day. We sat above that action on press row in disbelief. They were down 1-0... 1-0... a guy acquired to play in just that moment sat and watched.

The talk of a player being punished for trying to be creative and perhaps playing a bit too risky for a coach’s liking may have applied to Kovalev and Dan Bylsma, but it also sounds a lot like Daniel Sprong and Mike Sullivan as well.
