…our boys never make it easy, do they? Even when the Penguins play a mostly good game, as was the case during last night’s 6-4 taming of the Wild at Xcel Energy Center, there are plenty of warts to pick at.
For instance, yielding a pair of bang-bang goals during a ghastly 12-second span of the second period to eliminate a hard-earned 2-0 lead. Giving up a shorthanded goal to Joel Eriksson Ek (eek!) at 11:23 of the third period to cut our lead to 4-3, just when we appeared to have the two points secured in our hip pocket.
