The Penguins are down two games to zero in the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the New York Islanders, but the sun still came up this morning. While a 2-0 hole is a massive deficit, we are still talking about a team who has enough talent to break out on the scoresheet at any time.
From a historical perspective, in this era of the Penguins with Crosby and Malkin, this is now the sixth time in thirty playoff series’ that the team has started things off by losing both of the first two games.
