The next team has fallen in the NHL Playoffs and, surprisingly, it wasn’t the Ottawa Senators but the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins lost in overtime 2-1 to the New York Rangers and, thus, lost the series 4-1.
As a Colorado Avalanche fan, I was rooting for the Penguins. Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby is good buddies with both Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon — they even train together in the off season. That’s kind of a tenuous connection, but the Penguins and Rangers are Eastern Conference, so it’s not like I watch them a lot.
