I don’t have much to go on other than the eye test. Which we all know, hardly qualifies as an exact science. And I truly hate to be the harbinger of bad news. Especially when it concerns our Penguins.
Thinking back to last season’s incendiary second half, I remember two games in particular where the Pens’ collective energy and speed was simply overwhelming.
The first—a January 21 matchup versus Philadelphia at then CONSOL Energy Center. The visiting Flyers snatched a 2-0 with a pair of first-period power play goals.
