Pens take 2-1 series and show champions' heart






Not too subtle, but funny!




This is one of the few times I love to be wrong.........I have been pretty rough on MAF this season, and post season, and I dont believe I was wrong to do so.........I have also been pretty negative on Geno, and again for good reason......but tonite, oh yeah tonite baby, these two combine to put the Pens in the series lead..............Fleury only faced 18 shots, but he made several sparkling saves, including one on Camelleri and one on Plekanec to keep the Pens in the lead, and Geno buried one on a power play, the game winner....I had been saying that Geno had not really had the game changing score in quite a while....well he did tonite.............Geno had Geno like jump, and after a VERY rocky start, the Pens took control of the play during the second and third periods, despite playing without both Jordan Staal and Bill Guerin. Matt Cooke and Pascal Dupuis had excellent games, and Orpik looked a lot more like Orpik tonight. The Pens blocked a lot of Habs shots, in fact Leopold blocked 6, and Orpik 7. Crosby was quiet on the scoring front, but dominant in the faceoff circle......The Frogs were pretty tough on Sid the Kid tonite, who now has gone 4 games without a goal, but Sid had the last laugh..............The Pens need to bring their A game on Thursday when they will have a chance to put a stranglehold on this series...............It was great to see Fleury play a game that was worthy of a franchise goaltender tonight...................................Game 3 is often times a pivotal game, so hopefully this is a sign of things to come! GO PENS!!
