For a while, it looked like it was going to be one of those games, didn’t it? When the Penguins perhaps took a struggling foe too lightly and couldn’t get their competitive fires stoked. Especially when the Arizona Coyotes snatched a 3-2 lead early in the third period.
Fortunately, our boys found the on switch to our offense, blowing four goals past beleaguered ‘Yotes netminder Karel Vejmelka (how’s that for a name) in less than nine minutes. I actually felt sorry for the desert dogs as the Pens poured it on, capped by Brian Boyle’s stunning between-the-legs-forehand-flip, which makes me appreciate all the more just how good NHL players are…even aging fourth-liners.
