RECAP. Scott Gomez Sucks. Pens LOSE

That title needs to be there to make us feel better about the loss.  Not that it was a tough or heartbreaking loss, we just hate losing to Montreal.  P.K. Subban was a dick again and finally someone stepped up and did what so many people have wanted to see done.  Kris Letang hit Subban with what can best be described as a flying clothesline from hell.  The Pens fell behind but came back again and forced the game to the shootout where they would eventually fall.

1st Period
The 1st period was pretty meh.  Subban tackled Malkin somewhere in there and then stared him down like Malkin just boned his mother.  Not sure who Subban thinks he his but whatever.

2nd Period
The Pens got a power play.  Yes a power play in Montreal.  Someone in the seats probably called 911.  Montreal had more chance on the Pens power play then the Pens did.  They had a 3 on 1 and like 5 breakaways but MAF stopped them all.  But the Habs finally cashed in when some Leblanc character scored to make it 1-0 Habs.  The Habs could have been up about 5-0 in the second but they suck and MAF was a brick wall most of the night.  

3rd Period
The Pens were on the PK to start the period.  Shocking we know.  But the Habs have the worst power play in the league and it showed.  The Pens took advantage.  Joe Vitale got deep in the Habs zone and threw a harmless puck to the net.  But the puck would bounce off Dupuis skate and into the net to tie the game.  
The game is in Montreal so of course they took a second look at it.  The goal stood and the game was tied at 1.  Then you thought is the Pens could get one the game would be over.  But soon after the Pens scored Montreal out one in to make it 2-1.  Lars Eller looked like he was going to dump the puck behind the goal.  MAF started out of his crease to go play the puck.  But Eller faked out MAF and threw the puck to the net.  The puck hit the post then bounced off MAF and into the goal.  Vomit.  But the Pens would bounce back.  Evgeni Malkin worked his balls off after getting hauled down by Hal Gill.  Geno got the puck to James Neal who sniped Carey Price to make it 2-2.  New career high in goals for James Neal.  That was his 28th this season.  The game would eventually slip to OT.

OVERTIME
Overtime was insane.  Back and forth action with both teams getting some good chances but neither team could cash in.  Then with time ticking down this happened.
Finally.  Bout time someone did that.  Subban is a dick.

SHOOTOUT
The shootout lasted like 100 rounds.  Malkin did this.
Jesus.
But Turtleneck Pleckanek would get the final laugh winning it for the Habs.

3 Habs got all the stars last night.  No way we are posting that garbage.

Quick Thoughts
  • Hal Gill still has it
  • Joe Vitale is unbelievable
  • Scott Gomez sucks.  He got booed when he was announced in the starting line up and got ripped apart when he carried the puck.
  • Evgeni Malkin
Pens next game is Saturday at 2 against Winnipeg.

Go Pens
