The Blackhawks came out storming with 11 shots to the Penguins’ zero during the game’s first seven minutes. “We knew they’d come out like that…I call it a gang attack,” said Pens coach Bob Johnson. Pretty apt, considering the Stadium’s location on the south side of Chicago. Goalie Tom Barrasso did his best under the barrage, managing to hold the Hawks to a 2-0 lead on goals by Jeremy Roenick.
Kevin Stevens answered in the second as the Pens settled down defensively. Roenick, however, completed his hat trick at 14:03 of the third period when he batted a puck out of the air behind Barrasso. That was all she wrote for the Penguins on this night. “It’s our job to get better, and we were close tonight. But it’s not going to happen overnight,” said a patient Badger Bob after the game.
