Rob Rossi welcomes The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn and Charlie O'Connor to run through their simulation of a virtual Penguins-Flyers series, which lasted a dramatic seven games and included a 3-0 comeback. Dom explains the origin of the series, and the guys run through some of the key narratives from each game and what ultimately resulted in a Penguins series win. Plus, Dom and Charlie weigh in on how data-based analysis of a real playoff series could be impacted by a lengthy stoppage of play.
