Yeah, I mean, you'll take two points.

That's wonderful.

And you'll especially take two points when they're from one of the top teams in the NHL,

and you're playing in their rank, and not everything's going your way among the things

that you can't control. But, man, I don't want to be that guy, but that's not it. That's not the

formula. It can't be. Good morning to you. Good Friday morning from Tampa, Florida. I'm Dan Kovachievich, and 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, four, lightning three, exhale.

Carlson said to me afterward, I'll bet that was at least fun to watch, right? And I'm thinking

about everybody back home checking it out on TV and probably going, no, Carl, that really wasn't all that fun,

at least not at the end. And if anything, there should be a few red flags raised, even amid

accepting the W and taking both of these first two games on the three-game trip.

One of those is that your offense is coming from either Sid or Gino, meaning at five-on-five,

or it's coming from the NHL's number one power play, which here again went two for four and was a big, big, big part of this.

In this case, it was Ville Covenant finally getting his first NHL goal.

I say finally in a teasing way he was really taking it hard.

And Ben Kindle scoring on a really pretty deflection.

Otherwise, Gino scored twice. Gino scored the winner. With 243 left in regulation

after the lightning had come back from 3-0 down to tie. Even then, it looked like the bolts

had tied again in the final minute when Nikita Kuturov buried a one-timer, that got nullified by an NHL review that showed clearly, plainly, a hand pass that led to the goal, which I think we all could agree is a little bit of a lucky break for the visitors.

And you notice I'm leaving one factor out because it was only the dominant factor.
