BOSTON -- "I think we got on our heels a little bit when they started pushing. It’s a tough one. We’ve had a few blown leads. We’ve got to figure that out."
That was a disheartened Marcus Pettersson after the Penguins lost, 2-1, to the Bruins in the Winter Classic here at Fenway Park in Boston on Monday.
The Penguins made the curious choice to trot out an 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup against the Bruins. It's possible that contributed to the stark contrast in the Penguins' performance from the first half to the second half.
