Merriam-Webster defines the word moxie as courage and determination. I thought our Penguins showed tons of both during the recent nail-biter victories over Washington and Minnesota.
Indeed, if there’s a turning point in a season desperately in need of one, the dual 2-1 triumphs may be it.
Talk about overcoming adversity. Scarcely a minute into a touchstone game with bitter rival Washington, Jamie Oleksiak…capable enough with his dukes…got his clock cleaned by hated Caps Neanderthal Tom Wilson. I mean, the ‘Big Rig’ got knocked out colder than the proverbial Atlantic mackerel.
