Sometimes, that’s hockey. The puck bounces the wrong way, or the game comes down to one shift. “Every game was down to the wire,” Penguins head coach Kirk MacDonald noted after the series, one where three games were decided by one goal and most were tied late in the third. Sometimes, a great team runs into a team that has their number, and the Marlies had the goaltending and star power to respond to the Penguins.
