This comes from Pens’ coach Dan Bylsma on his team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes, who remarkably are three within new NHL .500 and just three behind the Rangers. Think about that folks. This was a team that lost every way possible and was buried. They probably won’t make the playoffs but Paul Maurice’s team has shown a lot more heart than our guys. What’s echoed below is what I’d like to see from a franchise that’s going the wrong way:

“I think that the team we played tonight has proven all year long that they are not going to stop playing. They are going to work regardless of the standings or what the score is.”
