winter classic

After a long break over some personal issues...this lady has returned! Haha.

Now, as you all know, the Winter Classic is comming up. This is the biggest game of the year besides the Stanley Cup folks! Sid the Kid and Ovie go head2head again in this battle of the champions. Sidney Crosby has been doin absolutly AMAZING lately!!! My hat goes off to him in reverence.

Caps Sweep, Pens Weep...

The Pens were not playing well, from the very beginning. The Penguins closed the gap when Sid Scored his 48th making it 2-1. However, Tomas Fleischmann scored just 21 seconds later for Washington to make it 3-1. I like Flower, but he's inconstant...they pulled him. Brent Johnson took his place. Then, Leopold's shot from the right point trickled in...giving Sid 99 points (he assisted it). Then, the Caps scored again. Jordan scored 43 secs later...but the ref. said it was no good...he had blown the whistle. Then, right off of a Caps power-play, Jordan had won the face-off cleanly, but it bounced off of a linesman, stopped on Ovechkin's stick and was buried in the goal.  The Pens tried to get back into the game, but a no-scoring powerplay sent them under. They pulled Johnson and with .02 secs. left, Ovie scored again... to tie up with Sid. I hated this game the most this season. 

Another Stinger for Our Pens...

On Wednesday, the Pens suffered a stinging shout-out loss. The Caps struck the first blow. First it was Knuble scored, and then....(sigh of relief) Max Talbot scored! And our man Billy G  scored as well. But, a bad pass by Sid cause Semin to score and then Fehr scored soon after. We were all surprised...how could this all happen so fast? Then, the Pens kicked it up a notch...especially Duphe and Staalsie, they really played their hearts out. And Jordan was rewarded with a late goal. However, even though both Sid and Ovie scored it the shoot-out (Sid's goal was amazing), Knuble won it 4-3. That game was a stinger!
