Only problem was, the Penguins' 3-1 victory didn't look normal. Saturday's opener didn't look like a playoff opener or even a regular-season opener. It looked like what it was – the first game between two teams that haven't played in about eight months – and the buzz fizzled into silence.

Giroux did dance around a defender on the left wing at one point, but the second-best moves of the game were on the video boards during a TV timeout, when a fat guy jiggled gloriously to 'Gangnam Style.'
