The game on Friday and today's game may have caused a few heart attacks here in the Pittsburgh area. With the Pens coming back and winning on Friday after being down 3-0 in the first half of the game and winning today in a shut down fashion really makes people wonder if it is the Pens year. On Friday the Pens had some last minute heroics from Evgeni Malkin which left the Rangers hanging the heads wondering what happened, and today the Rangers' heads were looking to the rafters wondering what they had to do to put a puck past Fleury. Fleury got his second career playoff shutout today stopping all 26 shots that he faced. My main man Jordan Staal buried a beautiful power play goal, his second from Evgeni Malkin and Ryan Whitney. It was a sick pass from Malkin and Staal left Lundqvist out to dry. Today had a feeling that it was going to be a low scoring affair, but I didn't think it was going to be a 1-0 nothing game for 59 minutes and 33 seconds. The Pens sealed the deal late in the third when Adam Hall got his first of the playoffs from 140 ft. away. The puck was a clearing attempt by Hall that trickled into the gaping net. The Mellon Arena can sense something special with this Penguins team, and so can I. Game three is Tuesday in Madison Square Garden where the Pens have struggled this year, but have excelled in the playoffs. Lets Go Pens!!!!!!
Three Stars:
- Marc-Andre Fleury-26 save shutout.
- Jordan Staal-GWG.
- Henrik Lundqvist-30/31 saves.
