The Penguins are facing the Ottawa Senators in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final Thursday at PPG Paints Arena. The series is tied, 3-3. Here are some thoughts from the game as it unfolds.
First period: So that was fun.
The Penguins and Senators are tied, 0-0, after about as entertaining a first period as you could ask for in Game 7.
Both teams have had some pretty quality chances, but the style of play probably tips a bit in favor of the Senators. The Penguins have had chances, but haven’t really been able to create very much off the rush so far.
