Apr. 25th, 2011 10:08 pmThis was supposed to be a bounce-back game for the Pens. Yeah, not so much. They did manage to get on the board first, but for the first time this series, that didn't count for much. They just really don't have any fire power and the Lightning have totally got their number now. Blergh.
The sad thing is, before the series started, I was pretty accepting of the possibility that the Pens might not make it out of the first round, for exactly the reason that they're struggling now. But then they took a nice little 3-1 series lead and made me think we might actually get to move on to the next round. Hopes dashed are worse by far than hopes never had.
They still have one more chance - game seven back here on Wednesday. And I will get my hopes up again. They're supposed to be good at bouncing back after crap games. Maybe they just need another day.
*gives team a swift kick in the butt and then hugs it away*
