from Gene Collier of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
You know the NHL playoffs are afoot when the Penguins deploy a hospitality detail into the decaying intestines of Mellon Arena, shove aside various assortments of outdated office and suite furniture, and unfold a card table to present a fruit tray and some pastries for a suddenly swollen herd of habitually swollen media.
Nothin’ says postseason, it says here, like the smell of honeydew and pineapple Danish.
As for the more intangible aromatics, no odor overrides the first-round games that begin tonight like that of galloping uncertainty. No hockey player, hockey coach, nor alleged hockey journalist could look at the first-round matchups this year and so much as pretend to know what’s about to unfold.
