Hey Larry,
I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I'm not here to rub salt in an open wound as they say, but what a game between my Hawks and your Pens. The weather at Soldier Field was ridiculous. I played pond hockey growing up and I can tell you continuous snow while you're playing is not easy to deal with. Despite the rules being the same, an outdoor game is an entirely different game than one indoors. I give full respect to both teams for their effort this evening. Furthermore, I would argue that despite the final score, MAF had an incredible game. He faced several quality shots and I didn't think any of the goals he gave up were "soft goals." Best of luck to your Pens for the rest of the season (unless they're in the SC finals against my boys, lol).
