Ian Cole raising game for Penguins against Capitals
WASHINGTON — To appreciate what Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ian Cole can do, replay one shift from their 3-2 win against the Washington Capitals at Verizon Center on Thursday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Second Round series.
Cole and defense partner Justin Schultz were out against the Capitals’ top line of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie with the score tied 2-2 in the third period.
Ian Cole hurts from all those blocked shots, but not even Mom can get him to admit it
The text tone on Ian Cole’s cell is as predictable as the pain.
He’s been felled by a slap shot. To the instep of his foot. To the exposed upper crust of his kneecap. To the bone atop his shoulder. Right to the gut. Wherever the puck hits, it hurts.
But it hurts nowhere quite like it hurts back home in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Because that’s where Mom is watching.
