The Penguins sure did wake up last night. They were like a bear woke from his hibernation.The Sens scored first...and us fans were like, "Oh no! Not again!" Then, Sid scored giving us all hope. Not too long after Sid helped Flower out and literally saved the game. He dove and swatted the puck quite literally out of the net.
"It's a split second, but 8,000 things go through your mind," Crosby said. "It was one of those delicate things you're watching, not sure what to do."
Crosby might not have been sure, but Flower was.
"I knew I couldn't get there," Fleury said.
So Crosby did.
He dove with his backhand, saving a sure goal.
"I was happy to see Sid diving by," Fleury said. So were the 17,132 fans packed into Mellon Arena.
Then, during the third period, Sid danced around the net again and again, evading the Senator defense-man.
He was going to shoot it, but saw that there was too much traffic around the net. On one knee, he passed it to Letang and he scored!
The Pens rallied around their Captain...
"You see your leader do that and it's like, 'Holy (expletive), I have to put my (butt) in gear,' " Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis said. "You see a young guy with a 'C' on his jersey, our leader who does it night after night — it's like, 'All right, I guess we need to work too.' " And that's what they did. there were 52 hits...Max played AMAZING, Rupp hit a guy out of the Zamboni door, and all of the penguins stood up for the team. However, Leopold got knocked-out...I hope he's well enough to play tomorrow...Sid was a Champion last night...and what did Ovie do when he played his game???? Nothing....
