Not this time. No, no, just don't do it.

Not after this one. Good morning to you. Good Wednesday morning.

From Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm Dan K Kulachvich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports,

and this is Daily Shot of Penguins. It comes your way right and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates in the same place that you've found this.

Hurricane 5, Penguins 4, via, you guessed it, shootout. Don't, don't, I can tell, don't, just don't do it, don't do it.

The outcome does not supersede all that went into this and all that it might mean. I could point out

the obvious penguin's missing. Sidney Crosby, Yvgeny Malkin, finding out Justin Brizow earlier

in the day is going to be out week to week. Sam Gerard showed up on the injured list, almost a quarter of the skaters,

and they're going against the team that's in distant first place in the metro,

who are feeling all awesome about themselves and who are almost completely healthy,

who are playing at home, and who get themselves. A two-goal lead

thanks to some really screwy circumstances in the third period, don't make me be the one to

point out that both Taylor Hall and Nikolai Ehlers took big dives to draw big penalties in that period.

Don't make me be the one to point out that one of their rally goals came just because

Connor Dewar lost the puck in his skates, one of the team's most defensively conscious

players.

Don't make me point out that poor Ilya Solovia, I was out there at Center Ice,

just literally lost where the puck was.

That happens on occasion.

That hands, Seth Jarvis, a breakaway.

They didn't blow the lead.
