Three weeks after succumbing to a first-round playoff exit at the hands of the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins suffered another big blow.
On Wednesday night, the Penguins playfully responded to a tweet by Discovery Communications, which owns television networks like TLC, Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel.
Discovery's reply on Thursday was ice cold:
The media company is based in Silver Spring, Maryland, which is about 25 minutes from Washington, D.C.
Now it all makes sense.
Well played, Discovery.
