RECAP. Cooke gets his laugh. Pens WIN

The Pens rolled into Boston Saturday afternoon for a matchup with the Bruins.  The last time the Pens and Bruins played the Bruins won 3-1 in Pittsburgh and it was the last time we saw Sidney Crosby this season.  Pens/Bruins game have and added animosity as of late after the Matt Cooke/Marc Savard incident.  Even though Cooke wasn't the first or last person to give Savard a concussion.  Matt Cooke would finally get the last laugh in this one.  

1st Period
The first period was pretty much ZZZZZZZZZZZZ city.  Business picked up with under a minute left when the Pens got a power play after a very questionable call.  Whatever.  It's the Bruins and we'll take what ever we can get against them.  The Pens would cash in.  The Pens got the puck to the net and the puck found its was to Malkin on the rebound.  Malkin had the entire net to shoot at.  1-0 Pens with 8 seconds left in the period.

2nd Period
This is basically what happened in the 2nd period.
Not much else happened this period.

3rd Period
The Pens got the scoring started early this period.  The most hated man to Boston Bruins fans finally got a laugh.  Dustin Jeffrey threw the puck to the net, Cooke gathered the rebound and made it 2-0 Pens.
The Bruins would bring the score to 2-1 when Joe Corvo beat MAF to bring the Bruins within 1.  After that MAF went behind the net did some PCP and was lights out the rest of the game.  The Bruins had a bunch of chances to tie it but MAF was all business and the Pens held on to the 2-1 win.

3 Stars
1.  Marc Andre Fleury
2.  Zdeno Chara
3.  James Neal.

Whoever picked the 2nd and 3rd star probably snorted crack out of some hookers ass crack before the game.  No Malkin?  No Cooke?

Pens take on the Devils in like 19 seconds.

Go Pens.
