Pens Vs. Maple Fags

The Pens dominated this game from the get-go. The only problem was that they couldn't seem to finish.

Danny Sabourin got the start for the pens.

Adam Hall is money on the draw once again. Wins it to Christensen playing right
wing, Crusher puts it home using about 3 bodies as a screen. Vesa Toskala didn't see shit.

Not even two minuets later the Leafs get one back. Shot on net seemed to be under Sabourin but he rolled on his side and the puck was in the open. Darcy Tucker buried it.

Again about 2 mins. Later the leafs strike again. Antropov wrapped it around and sabourin didn't put the paddle down. Antropov basically wacked at the puck and forced sabourin into the back of the net.

One of the Leaf players ran straight into Sabourin and Orpik got the penalty for shoving him into the pens goalie. Sabourin's head smacked off the post and he had to leave the game. Not good.

Basically Mats Sundin owns the Penguins. Under a minuet into the game, Sundin is just sitting open in front of the net and buries a pass behind Fleury.

Here comes Crosby and Sykora down the ice on a 2 on 1. Sykora throws the puck over to Sid and Sid tries the give and go. The defender twisted his body all around and it basically looked like he tried to deflect it behind Toskala. Sid gets his first goal.

Talbot Races down the boards and tries a quick move. He gets his own rebound and puts it home 19 secs after Crosby's goal. It seems like the penguins are going to score a lot of goals in bunches this year.

4 mins left in the 2nd and a big scramble is in front of the maple leafs goal. Malone gets the final wack and puts the 'Guins up 4-3.

27 seconds later...Pens can't keep a lead. Jason Blake gets his first goal as a Maple Leaf.

Pens on the power play. It seems like they have been 0 for 37 in this game. Sydor rifles one from the point and it bounces around behind Toskala. Crosby finished it for his second goal of the game and season.

Look at his mouth

Talbot adds and empty net goal to seal the deal for the Pens.

Other side notes...
-Orpik got hit in the face and has a mild concussion.
-Pens registered 51 shots...goddamn
-Fleury played solid after filling in for Sabourin
