Pens Win...and then take a hard loss...

The Pens won VS. the Bruins 3-0 this Thursday. It was Fleury's first shut-out of the year. Tensions were high this game. The last time they fought, Matt Cooke accidentally injured Marc Savard.  Shawn Thornton took up his cause and faced-off with cookie 5 seconds into his first shift. No one really won it.
"We expected it to be intense and emotional but we were prepared to play hockey," Sidney Crosby said.
The Penguins scored once in each period - goals by TK,  Poni and Rupper.

Then, on Saturday, they faced Carolina.  Zach Boychuk of the Canes drew first blood.  Then, Jordan Stall met the blow with a nice goal assisted by  Poni and Sid. Then, Gino scored assisted by Fedotenko and...yet again...  Poni. However, Joni Pitkanen of the Canes scored tieing it up. We went into overtime. With only .09 seconds left, we thought...whew! It's going to a shoot-out...nope! Jamie McBain scored his first NHL goal....a crushing loss for our Pens...yet tonight they battle again...hmmm...Detroit....

Devil Defeat Again!

The Devils defeated the Penguins 6 times now! They won 5-2.  Our boys were playing well in the beginning of the 1rst period. "Kunie" scored won in. A turnover by Letang cause a devil goal...it was all down-hill from there. All the other goals were turn-overs at the blue line. The Penguins defeated themselves. Ruslan scored in the third, showing that he's still got the magic. Although they had a 3 minute power play at the end, they couldn't win it. Sid was called for goalie interference...it wasn't. He turned towards Brodeur and said, "Come on Marti!" All I can say is, it doesn't really matter what happens against the Devils in the season...in the play-offs, if the Pens play them, I predict that the will redeem themselves.

Hopefully tonight...it will be a win!

Awesome Penguin Win Today!

 VS

 
The Penguins won in a shoot out today! Crosby scored one today and then with about eight minutes left, the Red Wings matched him. Fleury was screened and Fedotanko was in the way. However, Crosby made an AWESOME shoot-out goal (he knocked off the bottle) and Malkin sealed the deal...it was an awesome finish to an awesome game!
