## Resource

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins’ playoff run ended in heartbreak with an overtime loss, but the team’s grit and unity shone through — especially as young players stepped up in the absence of veterans. Coach Kirk MacDonald praised their championship spirit, while key prospects like Koppanen and Puustinen head overseas, and others like McGroarty and Pickering hit a pivotal five-year milestone. Though the season’s over, the experience and bonds forged could be the fuel for future NHL dreams. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
