Basically a modern-day spin on Julius Caesar’s “veni, vidi, vici.”
The Penguins came. The Hurricanes saw and conquered, to the tune of a convincing 5-1 victory at Lenovo Center last night.
Some will point to the fact that the black-and-gold doubled the ‘Canes in shots on goal (36-18) while piling up a 75-43 advantage in shot attempts as cause for optimism. A Pyrrhic victory if there ever was one.
The Pens’ problems remain the same. Chief among them, when they “get to their game” or “play the right way”…choose your Sully-ism…they can’t cover both ends of the ice effectively.
