Discovery burns Penguins on Twitter

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.
