The Pens were flying all over the ice for the first two periods, getting to loose pucks and stick handling through the pre-pubescent Bruins. Everyone looked like they were in NHL 99 with the speed burst button taped down. It's good to see Malkin and Crosby laying out to knock pucks away because everyone else follows suit.
1st Period:
First goal comes for the Pens with a minute-nine left in the first. Malkin makes a power move to the net, shoots the puck off Thomas and come straight to Satan who exploded out of the penalty box. Satan wrists a shot top shelf, knocking the water bottle off and straight into Ben Affleck's Bean Town balls. 1-0 Pens
2nd Period:
Malkin loses a face off to right of Sabourin and some Bruin wrists some shit through traffic.
Tie game. 1-1
Dupuis schools some Bruin behind the net. Tits.
I'll put up a pic or vid of it when I can find one.
Sid shows that he's not a pussy by taking down Marc Savard in the corner, really for no reason. Regardless, its cool to see Bing mix it up. Both get roughing penalties.
3rd:
More hard skating by the Pens, no scoring. OT city.
OT:
Pens get some good shots and Sabourin is solid, but to a shoot-out we go.
SO:
Sabourin=money.
Geno breaks the 1-1 tie and buries the winning shot. No dekes. Just balls.
Pens win. 2 points tonight. 4 points for the road trip. Real Dec.
Final notes:
-Malkin has points on the Pens last eight goals.
-Ty Conklin who?
-Young defensemen Letang and Goligoski played real solid. Almost made us forget the lack of Gonchar and Whitney.
-Pascal Dupuis is playing out of his mind.
Hurricanes come into town Thursday. FSN has the call. 7:30 puck drop.
