The crappy thing about first impressions is you only get one of them. If it is not a good one, that is a tough stink to shake off in any setting. Sports. Work. Life. Anything.
That brings us to new Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Mike Matheson.
We all saw it. I saw it. You saw it. It was obvious. Matheson’s first game as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday evening was, well, not good. He was on the ice for three goals against, in the penalty box for a fourth, and saw the Penguins give up several more high danger chances.
