Maple Leafs Stun Penguins with Late Rally, 4-3
As often as not, I tend to be bad luck for our Penguins. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned away from the TV to converse with a gym member, only to have the black-and-gold score at that precise moment.
Well, last night seemed to be the exception to the rule. Due to a lull in activity at Wright’s Gym, I was able to watch the first two periods of last night’s game in Toronto.
Needless to say, I was uber-impressed. Skating with a laser, north-south focus and WARP speed, we ran up a staggering 55-20 edge in shot attempts and an equally eye-popping 25-8 advantage in shots on goal through 40 minutes. All the while, methodically building a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 lead.
Total domination. Easily our most impressive hockey of the season.
With victory all-but-assured, I turned away from the front desk TV early in the third period to attend to my closing chores. Just as I did, I heard the horn blare signaling a goal, accompanied by a loud cheer from the Maple Leaf partisans.
I glanced back over my shoulder in time to see a replay of Auston Matthews’ goal.
