First Penguin Playoff Loss…Finally!

Posted in Pittsburgh Penguins on May 1, 2008 by The Duke

Not much to say other than the Penguins stunk tonight in a 3-0 loss in New York.  A listless effort in Game Four with a chance to sweep the Rangers and move into the Eastern Conference Finals.  Jaromir “Puff Nuts” Jagr had himself a game with 2 goals and a helper, and Evgeni Malkin took one of the stinkiest penalty shots I’ve ever seen that could have tied the game at 1 heading into the third.  So it’s back to Pittsburgh for Game Five Sunday afternoon.  A better performance is needed in order to advance that is for sure.
