I mean, it's a good hockey team.

It's okay to think it when you're watching them.

So it should be okay to say it.

Morning to you.

Good.

Monday morning, I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Penguins.

It comes your way bright 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 found this.

Penguins 3, Canucks 2, yesterday in Vancouver, British Columbia.

That completed the four-game Western swing at 4 and O.

And for the most part, it was resounding.

The aggregate score of the series was 19 to 8 in the Penguins' favor.

The only one that really ended up close was the one

yesterday, and even that was kind of weird, because the penguins had the three-nothing lead,

entering the third period, and for the first time and forever, they kind of dozed off a little bit,

allowed the Canucks to score twice. Stuart Skinner, who'd been strong throughout, was superb

at the end.

Ben Kindle scored twice, Yvgeny Malkin once.

Just a generally strong showing from front to finish the way most of these things went.

This was Skinner afterward with Taylor Haas, our beat reporter, on location in Vancouver.

Sweep the road trip, what do you think allowed you guys to do that in place so well?
