Why you should care: Norfolk simply has the Penguins number. Much like the Penguins vs. the Bears, it looks like the Admirals know what the Penguins are going to do even before the Penguins. Pens cannot simply look past this team any longer. Things aren’t going to be easy with Colin McDonald and Eric Tangradi currently on recall to Pittsburgh. Perhaps less will be more for the Pens?
