The Calgary Flames rolled in to Consol Energy Center for an afternoon tilt with the Pens. The Pens have won 7 in a row now and 12 in their last 13. If I told you those wins would come with people playing defense with the names of Samuelsson, Dumoulin, Despres, Maatta, Niskanen, and Bortuzzo. And without Evgeni Malkin and James Neal for a chunk of time and Harry Keysmash on the second freaking line you would have laughed in my face. But here we are and the Pens youth movement or "Young Money" as they've been named recently just keeps winning. Pens "Young Money" > Steelers "Young Money".
The Pens had scored in the first minute of the last 3 home games prior to this one. They couldn't extend it to 4 in a row. The Pens did control the play in the 1st though. Despite being out shot 6-2 the Pens were possessing the puck in the Flames zone for most of the period. The Flames were just blocking a lot of shots. But then the Pens got an opening. Best In The World stole the puck from someone and put a shot on goal. The puck trickled under the goalie to Pascal Dupuis who had a wide open goal to work with. 1-nil Pens. Pens got another one soon after. Robert Bortuzzo continued his acid and unicorn blood trip. He got the puck out near the blue line and got himself to an angle where he could get a good shot off. He put it on goal and Harry Keysmash deflected the puck past Kari Ramo to make it 2-nil Pens.
The Pens had a power play early in the 2nd. They had a few chances on it but couldn't cash in. That gave the Flames some momentum. They were able to cash in too. Some jobber got the puck at the point and put a shot on goal. The puck hit the post, then Fleury and crossed the goal line. 2-1. The Flames had a chance to get back into it but then Sidney Crosby did this:
Dirty.
It looked like the Pens were gonna run and hide after James Neal deflected a Matt Niskanen shot to make it 4-1. But Mike Cameltoe is a party pooper and made it 4-2 19 seconds later. He undressed Matt Niskanen too.
Things got really interesting when Jiri Hudler, who apparently leads the Flames in points somehow, scored to make it 4-3 Pens. But the Pens put the Jacques Martin Scorpion Death Lock on and the Pens finished off the game and won 4-3.
1. Best In The World
2. James Neal
3. Mike Cammalleri
Stuff:
- Robert Bortuzzo was insane again tonight.
- MAF was solid again.
- Ho hum just another 3 points for Best In The World.
- The Pens lead the Metrosexual Division by like 984357 points.
- Pens had a couple scares when Olli Maatta and Matt Niskanen both went to the locker room at points of the 2nd period. Both guys returned though.
- Chris Connor managed to be a minus 3 somehow.
Go Pens
