I thought we were going to win. I really did.
As the game clock ticked down to six minutes remaining and our Penguins holding a 3-2 lead, we once again appeared to be in the driver’s seat. We were playing the right way as coach Mike Sullivan is fond of saying, applying constant pressure to the Rangers and Hart Trophy finalist Igor Shesterkin while doing an excellent job of insulating our own Tristan Jarry, playing his first game between the pipes in a month.
When the Rangers entered our zone, I wasn’t overly concerned.
