They did clog things up in their own end with aplomb... but you did indeed miss the quick transition from defense to offense on turnovers. They played with speed and tenacity getting the puck from their own end onto the attack through the neutral zone with blazing speed. Not sure how anyone watching could have missed that. It was a huge difference in the series the way the Pens would counter attack off turnovers and quickly cycle the puck around the offensive zone for large stretches.
