RECAP. 7 Is Better Than 6. Pens WIN

Creative.  Yeah we know.

The Pen rolled into St. Louis for their second meeting with St. Louis this season.  Last meeting the Pens lost 2-1 in overtime.  This game ended up going to a shootout even though it never should have made it that far.  Whatever.  St. Louis can blow us.

1st Period
The first period was back and forth action.  Yep.  That's about it.

2nd Period
The Pens got a power play early.  Most of it looked like a couple of monkeys trying to hump a football but made everything worth it when James Neal put one in the back of the net to make it 1-0 Pens.  James Neal finally got named to the all star team.  We still think the all-star game sucks.  The Pens would add another when Steve Sullivan batted one out of the air to make it 2-0.  Berglund brought St. Louis within 1 late in the period.

3rd Period
2 things happened in the 3rd period.  First Berglund scored his 2nd on the game after probably the worst penalty shot call of  all time.  Fuck off.  Then Jackman took one of the most embarrassing dives of all time.  
What an embarrassment

The game would go to overtime.

Overtime
Overtime was back and forth with both MAF and Brian Elliot, who is somehow an all-star making spectacular saves.  Neither team would score and the game would go to a shootout.

Shootout
Malkin would score for the Pens and some idiot would score for St. Louis.  Then Kunitz put the game away for the Pens in the 4th round.  

Happy All-Star break.  Pens don't play for like a year.

Go Pens
