Pens can and will still win the series.
The worry and frustration are real and understandable but I fully believe this team will still win the series. The locker room adjustments between periods have worked the pens have looked better as the games went on. I believe the coaching knows exactly what this team needs.
Not to mention games 1 and 2 went pretty much exactly how Philly wanted. Play a frustrating defensive style giving no room and wait for the frustration to expose good opportunities. Which is why even when play was all Pittsburgh, Philly still ended up with the better scoring chances.
Pens NEED a lead to force Philly to take chances and push for offense. The lack of early scoring has let them play their game for the entire series so far.
I believe the pens take their good play from the 2nd and 3rd periods in game 2, combine it with a little less pressure now that they’re down and on the road and the goals will come early for the penguins. Once Philly is forced to play an offensive game I believe things will really open up and we’ll see the offensive power of Pittsburgh take over the series.
