There were very few smiles from either side of the glass, as fans had just watched their team's playoff hopes get crushed by the Chicago Blackhawks, a club that's been out of the running for a while. But, that's the way things go sometimes, and I'm guessing participation wasn't optional.
If the Penguins had won this game, they'd still be in the playoff race. However, this loss, combined with a win by the New York Islanders Wednesday night, means Pittsburgh has missed the post season for the first time in 16 years.
