The Pittsburgh Penguins played a hard-fought game on Monday night, but unfortunately came up short, losing 2-1 in overtime to the Washington Capitals. This loss eliminated the Penguins from the playoffs and allowed the Capitals to finally move on to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The big story of last night’s game was Alex Ovechkin’s ability to finally defeat Sidney Crosby’s Penguins to move on past round two. That’s a great story and all, but I want to touch on the season the Penguins had. It was a rocky one from the start, but we stuck with them right until the very end.
