RECAP. Well This Is New. Pens LOSE

It felt good to not have to type that for 11 straight games but on Sunday afternoon the Pens winning streak came to an end.  Of course it was the Flyers that did it.  It was also the Flyers who ended the Pens winning streak last season.

The Pens were up 2-0 going into the 3rd period but completely melted down in the 3rd.  The Flyers tied it and the game went to overtime.  Scott Fucking Hartnell of course scores with 1.6 seconds left in overtime to give the Flyers the win.

Best thing to come out of this game was Kunitz almost doing what every Pens fan wanted to do. End Scott Hartnell.  But he didn't and Hartnell scored the OT winner.  Of course.

What can we really complain about though?  The Pens just won 11 in a row.  They are 1 point behind the struggling Rangers for 1st in the East.  And they just took 5 out of 6 points in New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia.  If you're jammed up about this loss get over it.  Pens magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 3.

Pens/Jets on Tuesday.   

Go Pens
