Penguins Collapse, Fall to Red Wings in OT
It seems Bob Errey has become quite the prophet of late. With about seven minutes remaining in regulation last night and our guys clinging to a 4-2 lead, the Penguins play-by-play man said something to the effect of “wishing the time on the clock would speed up.”
I’m sure because he sensed a game we should’ve had in our hip pocket was slipping through our collective grasp.
Which is exactly what happened.
As the Pens incredibly blew an early four-goal lead and lost in overtime to Detroit, I changed the title of my post three times. I started with “That’s More Like It” which was downgraded to “WHEW” in hopes we’d eke out a win to the mournful version above.
A shame, because the game began with so many positives. Drew O’Connor scored his first goal of the season just 2:36 in, sweeping a nifty feed from Kasperi Kapanen past Wings netminder Ville Husso from the right circle. Then big Jeff Carter struck on the power play at 10:15, again courtesy of a setup from Kapanen.
Next it was Jason Zucker’s turn.
