Flock of Penguins killed in shark attack in CA

Wow, an interesting game to say the least!  The Penguins jumped on the Sharks EARLY with a goal by Deryk Engelland before you could even settle into your seats, then another by Evgeni Malkin a couple minutes later.  Just like that the Penguins were up 2-0, had chased Antti Niemi, and were now facing a backup goaltender in Greiss.  Well, it is amazing what a goalie change can do at the right time. Despite being dominated by the Penguins for the rest of that period, Greiss stopped the bleeding, and the Sharks came out of the first only down 2-0.  A late period beating by Winchester on Adams, then a pretty even bout between Engelland Clowe seemed to jump start the Shark, who dominated period 2, but only got one goal to close the lead to 2-1.  The Penguins answered with another goal by Geno, to take a 3-1  lead into the third period.  Somehow, though it just felt shaky.  Sure enough, the Sharks scored about 5 minutes into the period, the tied with about 5 mintues left to force overtime.  Nobody scored in OT, and Ryan Clowe scored the only goal in the shootout to complete a 4-3 comeback by the Sharks.  A game that seemed destined to not only get the Penguins 2 points, and end a 9 game winless streak dating back to 1997 at the Shark tank, wound up being the Pens' 10th straight loss there, and they gave away that second point.  First the negative viewpoint.  The Penguins have had difficulty protecting leads over the past couple of seasons, and again gave away a game in which they held two different 2 goal leads.  In addition, they lost another defenseman, Ben Lovejoy for 4 to 6 weeks due to a broken wrist.  The third line was invisible in the game, which is not the norm, and the defense was worn down and played a very spottty game, ultimately leading to the comeback.  The positive view is that again, a very depleted lineup travelled to the West Coast, played one of the top teams in the league to a draw through OT, and came out with a valuable point.  Also, the chemstry between Malkin, Neal, and Sullivan is amazing, with Geno getting his first 3 point or more night since December 20, 2010 with 2 goals and an assist.  Sullivan and Neal each had 2 assists, and don't look now, but Geno is now third on the team in scoring with 4 goals and 6 assists, behind Kris Letang, who had an assist, and now has one goal and 11 assists on the season.  They are both in striking  distance of team scoring leader James Neal, whose two assists gave him 9 goals and 4 assists for 13 points on the season.  Neal had 8 shots on the night, and some were just unreal in terms of the power.  Kris Letang played nearly 34 minutes despite being a game time decision, and the Penguins were without Crosby, Staal, Kennedy, and Michalek, and lost both Niskanen and Lovejoy for periods of time during the game.  Let's beat the LA Woman saturday night, with big Cy egging them on in LA.
