No More Maybe’s

from Mark Spector of the National Post,

“Maybe it was good that we lost the first one,” Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis offered yesterday. “Maybe a little slap in the face maybe helped us get back on planet Earth and wanting it more.”

If there was one word that best illustrates the Penguins’ outlook on this series—now that they must win tonight or face the near impossible task of beating Detroit in four of five games to win the series—it is “maybe.”

Maybe if we started chipping the puck deeper more often. Maybe if we can coax Evgeni Malkin to stop relying on pure talent, and blend in a little more heart and sweat. Maybe if we wouldn’t have hit those posts, or if we had scored on those first-period power plays.
