Suddenly, all the questions about the Wings’ composure can be transferred to the Penguins, who started hacking and whacking once the game got out of control. Pain doesn’t hurt now, isn’t that the idea? If the Wings indeed are wounded, they have plenty of fight left, and they’ll need it because as impressive as this was, you know the series will go back to tense when it resumes in Pittsburgh Tuesday night.
