The Ottawa Senators and Sergei Gonchar were in town last night. Always a fun time playing the Sens especially when it seems like we've played them 1000 times over since the 2007 season. Did you know the Michalek's are brothers?
Nick Foligno is a baby.
1st Period
Sens got on the board early. Some jobber with a bizarre name beat MAF to make it 1-0. That lasted long. Crosby threw a sick pass to Kunitz who beat Anderson. 1-1. Then TK would add one. His initial shot was saved by Anderson but TK picked up the rebound behind the net and banked one in off Anderson to make it 2-1 Pens. Then the Sens started going to the box faster than fans file out of Consol in the 3rd period. Pens got a 5 on 3 and cashed in. Sullivan picked up a that missed the net and tried hitting Neal with a pass but Chris Phillips tipped it it. 3-1 Pens. Remember when Chris Phillips put the puck in his own net in the Stanley Cup Finals?
This ended up being the game winning goal in that game. Ducks won the Cup that game too.
Then Evgeni Malkin decided to get in on the act. Geno sniped Anderson and before you know it 4-1 Pens. Sens pull Anderson and Alex Auld was put it. Auld finally stopped the bleeding for the time being. 3 points for Sid in the 1st Period

2nd Period
Pascal Dupuis is on another level right now. Never seen him play like this since coming to the Pens in the Hossa trade. If you tell me Dupuis was going to be the biggest piece of the Hossa trade you're lying. Dupuis gathered a puck in front and beat Auld to make it 5-1. Someone tried putting the life back into the Sens when they made it 5-2.
3rd Period
Jordan Staal who is probably playing his best hockey he's played as a Penguin right now. Staal did some unreal work on the boards to keep the puck then ripped a wrist shot passed Auld to make it 6-2. Don't even care the Sens made it 6-3.
Game.
3 Stars
1. Evgeni Malkin
2. Sidney Corsby
3. Tyler Kennedy. Kennedy
Quick Thoughts
- Sidney Crosby looks as good as ever
- Pascal Dupuis has his balls in everyones mouth
- Jordan Staal is in full on beast mode
- Paul Martin didn't suck
EXTRA.
After the game Nick Foligno started to cry. Shocker. A player from one of Canada's NHL teams crying?
He said "I just kind of got a little frustrated he would do something like that, so I went back at him. It's not a big deal, but it's something he preached all summer about, that we should limit that, and he goes and does it. It's over now. But I was disappointed he did that."
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
The situation Fagligno is crying about occurred in the 3rd Period. Fagligno was standing in the crease and started bumping MAF. He even knocked him over a couple times and wouldn't let him get back up. Sidney Crosb, doing what he's supposed to as Captain, came to MAF's defense. He started taking shots to try to get Foligno out of MAF's way. Well after a few pushes and an uncalled slash by Foligno on Sid, Crosby got position and put an elbow into Foligno's grill. Nothin malicious about it. Just a bump to move Foligno. But Foligno being the bitch he his decided to cry about it. Check the replay. Foligno sucks.
Pens play Habs in like 2 seconds. Get your hate ready.
Go Pens
