During a break in the Penguins’ 5-0 Game 4 thumping of the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center last night, play-by-play announcer Steve Mears turned philosophical.
“Cherish every moment,” he said.
He was referring to the outstanding play of our nonpareil captain, Sidney Crosby. Moments earlier, Sid had undressed Philly defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere to notch his playoff-leading fifth goal and establish a new team postseason scoring mark, breaking the previous record held by a pretty good player named Mario Lemieux. However, ‘Mearsy’ may have been referencing our quest for a three-peat, too.
