3 Thoughts Before Our Penguins Last Game of the First half of the Season
Warning, I was thinking about our favorite hockey team this morning and my thoughts prompted me to put somethings down in writing. Read at your own risk.
A Quick Look at Tonight’s Game
There is some good news and some bad news about tonight’s game. First the good news, our Pittsburgh Penguins’ opponent, the Winnipeg Jets, played last night. They beat the Buffalo Sabres. And possibly even more importantly, their number 1 Goalie Connor Hellebuyck faced 41 shots. The boys from Buffalo did us a huge favor, they made the Jets’ Goalie work hard for the win.
The bad news, unless Rick Bowness, the Coach of Winnipeg, tries to play Hellebuyck tonight as well, that would seem to mean that he feels Buffalo is the tougher opponent.
Of course, should our boys of winter find a way to lose….well let’s not think about that.
Also, with Winnipeg being on the back end of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 nights, how many Penguins fans will crow should we win tonight, ignoring the fatigue factor Winnipeg should be feeling.
