Another win for the Penguins today. After falling behind 3-1, the Penguins roared back for a 6-3 victory today at the igloo. There was much to be happy about in this win. After yet another shaky start, it looked like Fleury may have found his game from the middle of the second period on. The Penguins PK was unreal today, and played a big part in the win. It was great to see the balance on the score sheet today. Crosby had 2 goals, Staal, Dupuis, Kunitz, and Ponikarovsky scored the others. The Penguins defense was active today as well with assists to Gonchar, Goligoski and Letang. It was great to see Poni in front of the net on the PP, and he delived exactly what he was supposed to today. He was a big body in front of the net, and he actually showed the scorers touch lifting that goal over Lehtonens pads to close out the scoring today. It is good to see this kind of balance, and once Guerin is back, the top 2 lines seem like they are loaded, and we have for my money the best 3rd line in the game. I also was pleased with the physical prescence of the Pens today, with both Adams and Rupp involved in spirited fights today. I remain one of the people who is not overwhelmed by Malkin's play of late, but perhaps the addition of Ponikarovsky will get him going again. Lets make it a weekend sweep tomorrow Pens!
