“Boy, this has been a textbook third period for the Penguins. They just have to finish it off.”
Pens TV color man Bob Errey uttered that observation with about three minutes remaining and our favorite hockey team clutching a 3-2 lead.
I was thinking the same thing. Following an iffy second period, we’d done a masterful job of draining the air out of Scotiabank Arena, not to mention the Toronto attack. However, when Bryan Rust, Josh Archibald and Brock McGinn all missed cracks at an empty net? Well…I confess I was waiting for the other shoe (or in this case skate) to drop.
