Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?

Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?

 

We’re you sitting in your lucky seat? Were you wearing your lucky shirt? It didn’t seem to help last night. The Penguins still lost and are now down 2 games to 1. Now, you have to pull out the big guns, the ones that you save for moments like these.
