OTTAWA, Ontario — There was a white flag on the back of every seat Tuesday night inside the Canadian Tire Centre, but there wasn’t a single thread of surrender in the home team.
One step from a spot in their sixth Stanley Cup Finals, the Penguins were denied by a bullish Senators team that just wasn’t ready to call it a season.
Manhandled right to the brink over the weekend when the Penguins routed them 7-0 along Fifth Avenue, the Senators bit back with a breathless 2-1 victory that forced Game 7 tomorrow night at the fabulous PPG Pizzeria.
