The defending Stanley Cup champs rolled in to Consol Energy Center last night and looked like a huge pile of dog shit. The Bruins only decided to play once they got down by 100 goals. Did Zdeno Chara even play? Pens through the body early and often on Chara and it had its effect. Tim Thomas sucks. The Pens are 21-4-1 since the 6 game losing streak. Remember that?
1st Period
Pens got on the board early. Aaron Asham was in the right place at the right time and put one through Tim Thomas' legs easier than if he was Jenna Jameson. 1-0 Pens. Soon after that James Neal lit up Chara and got called for interference. It was the beginning of a long day for Chara. Pens killed it. Adam McQuaid or whatever his name is tried to run James Neal in the corner but Neal stood up on him and McQuaid injured himself. The puck went to the point were arguably this seasons biggest surprise, Matt Niskanen, put a shot on goal and made it 2-0 Pens. Big time screen from James Neal on the play. Puck may have hit that big oaf Chara on the play. The Pens eventually went on a 5 on 3. The Bruins had probably one of the laziest line line changes of all time. Malkin to Neal. Money. 3-0.
2nd Period
Tim Thomas got pulled to start the 2nd. Marty Turco in goal for the Bruins now. Pens couldn't cash in on the power play. Krejci went the other way and beat MAF to make it 3-1. Bruins finally showed a pulse. The Pens answered right back. Malkin to Neal to Kunitz. Turco had no chance. 4-1 Pens. Nothing else really happened in the 2nd. Turco may have stopped Staal in there somewhere. Krejci scored his 2nd. Whatever.
3rd Period
The Bruins looked like they wanted to get back to the locker room and circle jerk with the Cup some more. Dupuis completely embarrassed Lucic and beat Turco on a break away. 5-2. Game.
3 Stars
1. Jame Neal
2. Evgeni Malkin
3. David Krejci
Steel Cage match with the Ranger on Thursday. Gotta root for Carolina on Tuesday.
