It's Not Cocky If You Can Back It Up. Pens WIN

There aren't many times in hockey when you only get goals from defensemen and still find a way to win a hockey game.  The Pens managed to do that last night against the Caps.  The Pens fell behind in the 2nd but the Paul Martin Redemption Tour tied it up.  Matt Cooke boarded AO on a pretty embarrassing call.  Cooke got an extra 2 for unsportsmanlike.  The Pens PK had to kill of 4 minutes.  And the did behind stellar goaltending from MAF and great play from the defense once again.  Cooke's penalty was over.  He was back on the ice.  Consol was going crazy (Shockingly).  Then Crosby and Cook go in on a 2 on 2 rush.  Crosby drops the puck to Cooke.  Cooke throws it to the middle of the ice.  ROOT Sports finally shows Matt Niskanen flying into the zone.  Matty Ice wait and snipes it.  2-1.  If this was 09 the Caps tie the game with like a second left.  Not happening this year.
