The Pittsburgh Penguins knew that last night would bring a very grueling and difficult challenge. They were facing the Flyers, a team that had not lost a game in regulation time since January 12th. So to say that the Flyers were very confident heading into last night would be underplaying the facts. And the Penguins, just as they have done all season long, found a way to get the victory.
Whenever you are facing a rival, the outcomes are always going to be at least a little bit unexpected, and that is what we had last night. For starters, Crosby put up three points, this coming after he has not been himself over the past couple of weeks.
