The Pens made their 2nd trip to MSG last night. The Pens were on a 3 game winning streak and looked to make it 4 last night. So far this season the Penguins hadn't been able to beat the top teams in the East, or the Atlantic Division for that matter. But last night the Pens finally reversed their fortunes and walked in to MSG, stuck their balls in the Rangers mouth and waled out with a 4-1 win. And Evgeni Malkin is still not human. This game also marked the return of Kris Letang who is still better at playing defense than everyone.
1st Period
The Pens got on the board early when Chris Kunitz put home a Paul Martin rebound to make it 1-0. The Pens registered like 900 shots before the Rags even registered 1. Pretty sure the Rangers didn't know there was a hockey game being played for like the first 10 minutes of the game. Pens could of had a 3 goal lead in the first but Lundqvist held the fort. Since when did Eric Tangradi become a fighter. No clue what he's doing but he fought someone. The Pens have fought in every game since releasing Steve MacIntyre. Evgeni Malkin ducked another check this game. He's been doing it his entire career and now people are starting to bitch about it? Get real. Brandon Dubinsky is still an idiot.
2nd Period
The Pens got a power play because Brandon Dubinsky sucks. Letang pushed Dubinsky and as Dubinsky fell and couldn't control his stick and high sticked Letang. The best part was every idiot in MSG thought it was on Letang. Pens couldn't cash in though. Somebody tied the game for the Rangers. We really don't care who it was to be quite honest. Nothing else happened this period.
3rd Period
A tie game going into the 3rd period. 5 games ago the Pens would have blown this. The would have let in 2 qucik, soft goals and the game would have been over. But not this time. The Pens went into the Ranger zone 3 on 1, the puck found its way to The Asian Sensation Richard Park who ripped a shot past Henrik Lundqvist to make it 2-1 Pens. The Pensblog has some unreal pics and a big time gif of Dick Park Market in their recap. Steigerwald said Sullivan scored the goal. Fail. If that didn't suck the life out of MSG than Evgeni Malkin sure did. He picked off a pass or something, embarrassed some Rangers defensman the roofed one on Lundqvist to make it 3-1 Pens. Somewhere in here Steigy said the Pens had a 2 goal bulge. Yep. The game was over. The Rangers were already in the locker room waiting for their next game. But Evgeni Malkin was still playing. He would add an empty net goal to give the Pens the 4-1 win.
3 Stars
1. Evgeni Malkin
2. Marc Andre Fleury
3. Kris Letang
Remember when the Pens couldn't win a game and the season was over like 5 minutes ago? Good times.
Pens next game is in 10 seconds against Montreal. The first game since Pacioretty hit Kris Letang. Hopefull Letang punches Pacioretty in the face.
Go Pens
