Just twenty four hours before the Pittsburgh Penguins biggest game of the season and arguably biggest match since the final game of last season versus the Chicago Blackhawks, head coach Mike Sullivan speaks with the media before the storm erupts.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been red hot as of late. On march 8th after dealing star franchise forward Jake Guentzel, the Penguins never looked more defeated since Sidney Crosby's draft year, sitting 7th in the Metropolitan division and 24th in the NHL overall standings. Since then, the switch was turned on and the Penguins are currently 6-1-3 in their last ten games in the most important time of the year.Veteran head coach Mike Sullivan reflected on his team's performences and what is at stake for the Pens.
Learned a new Sully-ism today when he talked about the group's collective effort: "I always use the phrase when the five guys on the ice have the same heartbeat. I think that's what it looks like to me right now... it's an inspiring level of play."
It won't be easy tomorrow, as the Pittsburgh Penguins trail just shy of one point off the Red Wings who are fresh off a loss to another team trying to crawl in, Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
It is moments like these where you want to have Mike Sullivan behind your bench.
