Accordingly, my expectations for last night’s Metro square-off with the Capitals at Capital One Arena were pretty low. Actually, lower than low. Especially since we’d been blown away the night before by the Hurricanes.
I confess, I didn’t watch the game. Instead, I periodically checked the score online, occasionally viewing the video highlights.
I was pleasantly surprised (actually, shocked is a better way to describe it) when our Pens grabbed a 2-0 lead. On the flip side, I was hardly stunned when we surrendered the lead, or learned that Erik Karlsson had a hand in all four goals.
