Pens fall to Lightning 4-1

I am not going to waste a ton of time on this one.  Roloson has now won his last 5 against the Penguins.  The trap did not kill the Penguins tonight, special teams and Roloson did.  The Penguins 5th ranked PP went 0 for 7, including another 5 on 3.  The Pens simply have to convert those.  Tonight, they got too fancy with the puck, Letang could not put the puck on Malkin's stick to set up his rocket of a one timer, and despite all of the good Sully does with zone time, tonight you saw his downfall which seems to be a repeated inability to finish plays down low when good chances arise.  Even the PK was off, surrendering two power play goals.  Tyler Kennedy got the only Penguins goal assisted by Martin and Staal.  Sometimes you have these nights.  Next.  Let's Go Pens!
