Big Big Win

Sometimes winning a game like this is just what the Penguins needed after a tough third period and OT yesterday vs. Ottawa. I'll be the first to say that if you love scoring, this was your type of game. Yes Chris Kunitz got a hat trick taken away. But the big picture is the Pens earned an important 2 points in the playoff race. Sid looked amazing with the puck today and his first line simply was sensational with Kunitz and Guerin.

Goals
*Bill Guerin one times one early in the contest: Pens 1-0
*Not even a minute later former Penguin Mark Recchi redirects one: 1-1
*Phil Kessel gives Boston the lead off a nice pass from Blake Wheeler: Bruins 2-1
*Chris Kunitz bounces one off his skate on a power play: 2-2
*Blake Wheeler shorthanded: B's 3-2
*First it was Kunitz but later changed to Gonchar on the Power Play: 3-3
*Kunitz on a pretty breakaway: Pens 4-3
*Michael Ryder off of a turnover: Tie 4-4
*Petr Sykora rises from the dead: Pens 5-4
*Jordan Staal empty netter seals it: Pens 6-4

Other Game

*Rangers split home and home with the Flyers

Song of the day


MARCH MADNESS IS CRAZY!!!

All In The Name Of Disgust

If the Penguins are going to be a force in the playoffs, they need to stop blowing 2 goal leads. Saturday's game was another example of why it is a 60 minute game. Eric Godard (YES HIM), Sidney Crosby and Tyler Kennedy help get the Pens a 3-1 lead, but in the third, Ottawa ends up tying the game. Marc-Andre Fleury absolutely saves them from not earning a point with sensational save after save in the third and OT. So the game goes into a shootout.

Letang: Miss
Alfredsson: Goal
Sykora: Miss
Spezza: Miss
Crosby: Goal... Ties it
Ruutu: Miss
Malkin: Miss
Fisher: Miss
Kunitz: Miss
Mr. Hilary Duff: Goal for the win.

So Fucking Yesterday.

That was a big extra point that the Pens didn't get. But they have a game Sunday so they must forget it. Let's see the other games.

*Philly 4 Rangers 2: NY loses the first of a home and home. Arron Asham scores 2 goals in the third for the Flyers

*Devils 3 Montreal 1: Habs lose another and Devils goalie Marty Brodeur ties Terry Sawchuk for 2nd all time in goalie wins.

*Lightning 4 Florida 3 OT: Lightning come back with 2 in the 3rd and the shootout win. Point for the Panthers though.

*Thrashers 4 Buffalo 3 OT: Oh Buffalo. You had the 2 points, but the loose Thrashers score twice late to tie it and win it in the shootout. Can't keep fucking up like this Buffalo.

*Capitals 5 Carolina 4 OT: Carolina comes back from 2 down and earn a point. Ovechkin scores number 49
