Is it true that Penguins don't play well in the heat?

Question

Answer 1

No.  Some penguins are native to Africa.

Answer 2

Penquins like the cold....then animal that is. The ice was way too warm for being in Detroit. It happens and it hurts the game. At least the Zamboni is out there doing the job. I hate when the ice is mushy. It hurts the game for both teams. Couple that with the heat of the crowd and the players and the length of the game and it makes for bad ice. Too bad....it started at 9 degrees and heated up fast. (on the ice)

No Melting Media...pizza and drinks were on tap. Need those carbs!

Answer 3

They don't play well when the heat is on from the Red Wings, that's for sure.

I let the Pens fans get all smug earlier, fully content knowing the Wings would not panic.

I wonder if Malkin will have a turnover for his post game meal.
