A Tiny Sense Of Normalcy. Pens WIN

 3

After the events of the past week Saturday needed to happen more than anything.  It was nice to just forget about all the bull shit that had happened since Monday and just watch a hockey game.  The Bruins fans put on another wonderful rendition of the National Anthem followed by "USA" chants.  It was fun to see.  Then they game started and we were reminded what dicks the Bruins are.  They controlled most of the play in the 1st.  The Pens weathered the storm and managed to get out of the period only down 1-0.  Then they got to their game in the 2nd and 3rd and took it to the Bruins.  Jussi Jokinen scored his 2578462 goal since being acquired at the trade deadline to tie it in the 2nd.  The Pens got a power play in the 3rd.  Jarome Iginla was on the ice.  He was getting booed all game.  You knew what was coming.  It was almost like the WWE wrote the script.  Iggy launched a laser from the point.  Goal.  It gave the Pens a 2-1 lead.  Kris Letang would make it 3-1 soon after.  Tyler Seguin scored a garbage time goal to get it to 3-2.  Whatever.  

1. Tomas Vokoun
2. Jussi Jokinen
3. Patrice Bergeron

Stuff:
  • Jarome Iginla.
  • The Pens have swept the season series against the 2, 3, and 4 seeds this season.  Only team to beat the Pens more than once was New Jersey.
  • The Pens record against the 8 teams fighting for the final 7 playoff spots is 23-4.
  • Jussi Jokinen had a 3 point day.
  • Speaking of Jussi Jokinen.  Brad Marchand called him dirty.  Pot meet kettle. 
  • Also.  Brad Marchand sucks.  He is gonna cost the Bruins in the playoffs because he'll take some dumb penalty.
  • Tomas Vokoun was sharp.
  • Matt Cooke is playing with a little more chippiness and we love it. 
  • Pens have clinched the top seed in the East 

Pens travel to Eugene Melnyk's CSI Lab Monday at 7:30

Hopefully Bylsma scratches Matt Cooke.  Ultimate troll move.

Go Pens
