The name of a team can get you pumped for any game. When you hear Montreal Canadiens it's one of those game where you wish you could put skates on and go out on the ice and take a run at P.K Subban. The Habs always get away with unlimited penalties and P.K Subban is always a dick. Last night he showed once again that he is the dirtiest player in the game today and has no respect for anyone in the league when he hit Chirs Kunitz with a slew foot. But he's not Matt Cooke so the Canadian media didn't bother reporting about it. Cough Darren Dreger cough. But for the first time in the last 5 games the Pens went into the 3rd period trailing by 2. Evgeni Malkin hadn't been heard from all game. You knew that would last. After probably the most emotional period of the season the Pens were able to force overtime and eventually win in a shootout. What a satisfying win.
1st Period
Some dick scored 34 seconds in to make it 1-0 Habs. We don't care who scored because the Habs suck and their players are garbage. Except for Hal Gill. Would gladly have in back in Black and Gold. Any way. This was the first time the Pens played the Habs since the Kris Letang concussion. Chris Kunitz didn't forget and fought Pacioretty. To bad he didn't give him the Jay Beagle treatment. Kris Letang looks as good as he did before he got hit. He scored a pretty nasty goal to tie the game at 1.
What a player. Then the Habs made it 2-1. Whatever. Pens had some chances late in the first to tie but couldn't.
2nd Period
Montreal scored early on the power play to make it 3-1. But you never had the feeling the Pens were out of it. Maybe during the 6 game losing streak they wouldn't have come back and the Habs would win 5-1. But this isn't the team the we saw during that 6 game losing streak. Plus it helped that Peter Buddah or whatever his name is was in goal. The Pens brought the score to 3-2 when Dustin Jeffrey scored his 1st of the season. Dustin Jeffrey was on another level last night. Best he's played all season. But the one goal deficit wouldn't last. The Habs would score late in the period to make it 4-2 going to the 3rd. Once again, still didn't feel like the Pens were out of it.
3rd Period
Going into the 3rd you knew if the Pens get one they were going to get two. Montreal looked like they didn't want to be on the ice during the 3rd. It was all Pens. Dustin Jeffrey scored his 2nd of the game of he grabbed the puck after Steve Sullivan got high sticked, and ripped a wrist shot into the net to make it 4-3. After that it was only a matter of time. The Habs started getting chances but MAF had the brick wall up after at one point having allowed 4 goals on 9 shots. Haven't seen that bad of a save percentage since John Curry vs Vancouver a couple years ago. Then with about a little over 3 minutes left Evgeni Malkin did what we were all waiting for. He got open, and James Neal found him and Malkin launched a bomb into the net.
What. A. Shot. What a celebration. Loudest that arena has been this season by far. Such an emotional goal even Steigy almost blew a load. The game would head to overtime. Evgeni Malkin has his balls in everyone's mouth and they have no clue what to do.
OVERTIME
We would usually recap the overtime but well something else happened. P.K Slewfoot made an appearance.
What a dirty hit. But he plays for Montreal so he only got a slap on the wrist and a $2,500 dollar fine. Kunitz could have been severely injured on this play. Watch how he falls into the boards. Of course Darren Dreger didn't have anything to say about this. Oh and to top it all off he got fined because it was deemed a "dangerous trip". Not a slew foot. If this is Matt Cooke everyone, especially the Canadian media would be calling for Cooke to be kicked out of the League. The Canadian Media is a joke and so is P.K Subban.
SHOOTOUT
The Pens choose to shoot first and the sent out Kris Letang. His shot was saved. MAF made a save on someone. Then Evgeni Malkin was 2nd for the Pens. You could have closed you eyes and not watched. You knew he was scoring. 1-0 Pens in the shootout. Then some dick broke his stick and missed the net for the Habs. James Neal had a chance to win it but his shot was saved. Then MAF stoned some asshole to secure the 5-4 win for the Pens.
