“No, I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day,”
Sang rhymin’ Paul Simon back in 1972.
However, due to the strange and serendipitous circumstances, the Metropolitan Division is so weak and the Pittsburgh Penguin Goaltending was so very, very strong, despite giving up over 3 games’ worth of shots on goal (SOG), 92 in only 2 games, our favorite flightless fowl on the frozen pond found a way to steal 4 of 4 points in the back-to-back series this weekend, holding on to the wisp of hope that they would be invited to the big dance this year: the play-offs.
