Pens fall to Flyers 3-2

The Penguins have now dropped two games in a row to two premiere Eastern Conference teams.  This game had some similarities to Monday night's tilt with Boston, most notably another completely ineffective 5 on 3 for over a minute that could have changed the game.  On this one, there was a stretch where 2 of the three Flyers on the ice had lost their sticks on top of the 2 man advantage.   And again, the Penguins could do nothing with it.  Fleury kept this game close tonight.  The Flyers got on the board first with a fluky goal by Daniel Briere at 13:22 of the first, as he bounced a puck off a couple of Penguins defensemen behind Fleury.  Flyers up 1-0.  In the second period, the Penguins vaunted PK got nicked for another goal as Wayne Simmonds cashed in at 11:18 with assists by Voracek, and the red hot Claude Giroux.  Then at 6:28, FARTSMELL gives the Flyers a three goal lead.  At 5:58 Rinaldo interferes with Bortuzzo, in the process Bortuzzo becomes the latest Penguins blueliner to be injured.  Eight seconds later, Real Deal.......James Neal cashes in for his 15th goal of the season on the power play!  You heard that right, power play.......He was assisted by Malkin (16) and Niskanen (6) on the goal, his 8th power play goal of the year.  The period ended with the Flyers leading 3-1.  Then at 11:39 of the third period, Malkin buried his 10th goal of the year, with assists by Orpik (3), and Asham (7).  The Penguins however could not get the game tying goal.  Hey Pens......the games start at 7:08 and tend to last 60 minutes.  You cannot wait until 9 pm to start to play boys.  Wake up call time for Saturday night.
