Hello Sugar hockey girls! Since I'm watching the game from home today, I thought I'd try out some (completely Penguins-biased) live updates of the game in progress. If you're watching, feel free to read along and jump in.

Although the Pens have put in a great effort, Detroit is producing offense and perfect defense, and shutting the Penguins down offensively and more importantly, in their attempts to enter the neutral zone.
