RECAP: GAME FOUR. SOUND THE ALARM. PENS WIN.
The playoffs are about lessons. Some teams learn. Some teams don't. Some teams die.
With an extra day off between games, the anticipation for Game Four was able to reach its maximum levels as we all waited for some questions to be answered.
Was Game Three a harbinger of bad things to come in this series?
Were the Penguins gonna have to deal with another Halak series?
The questions were answered.
Up 3-2 going into the third, the Penguins found the killer instinct they have sorely lacked, stunning the Senators with 4 goals in 10 minutes and chasing Mr. Anderson out of the net for the second time this series.
And just like that, the Penguins now have a chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win Friday at CONSOL. It would be the first time the Penguins have won a series on home ice since 2008. We'll all be hearing about that little factoid a lot in the next 36 hours.
Also last night, WBS completed their 3-0 series comeback, beating Providence 5-0 on the road. Brad Thiessen played lights-out. First time it's happened in the AHL since 1989.

If you watch this enough times you can actually see Chris Phillips signing his retirement papers. What a disgusting move.

The game was up in the air for a while. Until it wasn't. Holy shit.

Playoff Gameday: Pittsburgh Penguins & Ottawa Senators - Round Two, Game Four
Pittsburgh Penguins @ Ottawa Senators
Penguins Lead Series 2-1
NBCSN, CBC, RDS - 7:30 pm/et
Scotiabank Place - Ottawa, ON
Game four is another game that is a big deal. At the end of the night, the Ottawa Senators could be on the brink of elimination or completely back in the series. The Senators showed that they have life left in game three. Is it enough to bring them even in the series tonight or will the Penguins refocus and push them to the edge?
Jussi Jokinen could return to the Penguins line-up tonight.
