Penguins Vs. Senators Game 4: Winners Never Quit

Tuesday night was some good hockey! The Pens won 7-4! Malkin scored the only goal in the first peroid on a power-play again! Then, Sid scored early in the second...and 12 seconds later Cooke scored by an awesome pass from Max. Then Sid scored again.

“I feel like I’m creating things,” Crosby said. “That’s what I want to do and the puck’s gone in.”

The Sens pulled their goalie Elliott and replaced him with Leclaire.Then, Neil scored, and then Alfredsson scored....the Pens were getting sloppy...

The Sens were about to make a play when Orpik was smashed into the glass breaking it.

Kunie scored from a feed by Sid, and then MAX SCORED! Finally he got his dues! Max plays like a man on a mission...he was fed by none other than Adams! 

“They were pushing and pressing and they’re a team that never stops working,” Talbot said. “They’re in their building and they obviously wanted to come back so that was a big momentum goal for us, and these are the goals that we’ve been able to come and get.”

The Sens drew it in 5-3 when Cullen shot one past Flower.  Jordan scored too making the win 7-4.

“I still think we can improve and I think the second period was a good example of that,” Crosby said. “We did a lot of good things early on in the second. We kind of let them back into it and sat back and you can’t afford to do that at any point, no matter what the score is. So you try to learn from that but I think we did a lot of good things that allowed us to get that lead so we want to build off of that.” 

Game 3: Pens Win Again 4-2!

The game was only 1:17 in, when Poni hesitated for a minute and then slap-shot an innocent looking play at Elliott. It went through the five-hole and right to the back of the net...goal! Poni scored his first play-off goal this season! Later in the first period, it seemed as if Peter Regin scored on Flower, but on further review, it was rightly determined that it was kicked it...so it didn't count. 
Then, in the second peroid, Mike Fisher took a pass from Peter Regin and blasted it past Flower only 1:53 into the period.  About four minutes later, Max  passed to Gino Malkin and he slammed an easy goal right past Elliott. Right before the end of the period, Sid the Kid scored on a power-play, eventually that goal pretty much became the game winner.
Early in the third period Billy G passed a nice one to Kunie and beat n edgy Elliott on a breakaway.
However, Matt Cullen scored on a power-play making it 4-2. But that is as close as the Sens came to the Pens and they won it 4-2. And once again, Max Talbot (AKA The Superstar) has been playing AMAZING!

Sidney Crosby is on the cover of Sport's Illustrated Canada.   It's amazing what  Sid has gone through to become great! He is so driven that he's become a perfectionist. Talbot says, "Every special talent has to be a little crazy, and he's definitely crazy." I literally laughed like crazy when I heard Colby Armstrong's (former roommate, now with the Thrashers) comment on Crosby. He describes him as having, "Huge legs and a massive booty!" HA! I also find it amazing how jealous people can become. When Crosby was 14, he was so good that the other player's parents were very jealous of him; they would say things like I hope you break your neck!" and "I hope you get killed!" They'd tease and mock Crosby so much that he'd cry. The tormenting became so bad, that they had to send him to America for a year. But Crosby grew from those experiences and became more determined to do better. Which shows what an awesome player he really is. When he came home to Forrest Hill, Cole Harbour Nova Scotia, he played a game of roller hockey with his best childhood friends. He';s such a selfless and caring guy; he made sure his friends got a chance to parade the cup around. Crosby's life is obviously centered around hockey. He carries his father's dreams, Pittsburgh's dreams and now Canada's dreams on his shoulders...a heavy load for anyone to carry. However, he does it with determination and appreciation for those who believe in him. Which brings me to my own quote I thought up about him....Dream, Crosby did.
