Sens Clip Pens, 3-2, in OT

As Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca lit out from Mos Eisley spaceport in the Millennium Falcon during the original Star Wars saga, they were tailed by Imperial Star Destroyers.

However, when Han tried to evade his pursuers by shifting into light speed, the Falcon’s hyperdrive malfunctioned.

Feels a little like our Penguins these days, doesn’t it?

Following a crucial four-game winning streak that lifted us from the mire of the Metro basement, we’ve gone 2-2-1. Nothing terribly wrong with that. Heck, it’s a lot better than losing five in a row.
