Why you should care: Eric Tangradi gave Pens beat writer Jonathan Bombulie a quote yesterday I found interesting enough to mention here. It goes as follows: “Tonight was the easy one. Tomorrow’s the true test,” he said. “We’ve been pretty good coming back when we lay an egg. It will be the real test to see when we come out and put a good effort in if we can put another 60 minutes in.”
