It took all day to have some of the sour taste of last nights ass beating leave my mouth...........but the puck dropped again tonight and the Penguins picked up 2 valuable points on the road in Boston by defeating Boston 3-0. Matt Cooke fought Sean Thornton early in the first period, and though he took the worst of it, Thornton is a legitimate NHL heavyweight, and Cooke fought a spirited battle.......................Significant tonight is the fact that Fleury recorded his first shutout of the season, and both Kennedy and Rupp brok LONG goal scoring droughts netting their 10th and 13 respectively..............Alex Ponikarovsky also showed up again on the scoresheet with a goal that made it 2-0 by deflecting a Letang shot RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE NET..............this is where they want him to be...........and he was. The Penguins dominated territorial play tonight and Rask is the one who kept the game close......I was glad to see a win, glad to see Cooke man up, glad that no Penguin got hurt, but still a bit concerned about the Penguins after last nights meltdown..............
