Here we are, Gentle Reader. What we’re all hoping will be the end of this merciless slog of a playoffs. Or, if you’re a Pens fan, the penultimate game in this merciless slog of a playoffs. We’ve completely run out of bloggerly stuff to say (actually, let’s be honest. We ran [...]

Gentle Reader, after a week of discovering what life is like without hockey, you didn’t really expect, like, a real post tonight, did you?
