Let’s talk about Wednesday night’s most impressive #LOLFlyers moment first.
Early in the second period of what became a 7-0 Penguins brakes-beating in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, defenseman Andrew MacDonald “tried to kick the puck, missed, lost his stick, then ran into a teammate.” I’m quoting my colleague Jason Mackey there; his words are elegant in their simplicity.
To piggy-back off that — MacDonald’s pants may as well have fallen down, too. It’s a miracle he didn’t slip on a banana peel or have a duffle bag of wrenches fall out of the rafters and on to his head.
