Can't Win 'Em All/ Garden of Horrors/ Damnit

Before you kill your brother, remember this: The Penguins will still be in first place tomorrow night no matter what the Hell happens with the Canadiens tomorrow. It was a game that pissed us off, but we take away a point from a personal house of horrors and distance ourselves from everybody in the East but the Rangers.

LETS RECAP THIS THING

1st Period-
This was not a pretty period by any means, but the Pens held strong, particularly the MAF. He is just spectacular, and right now he is playing at a playoff level, a good sign to say the least. The Pens didn't even come up with a shot until 13 minutes into the period from Crosby, and they made little other noise with limited scoring chances. The Rags get some nice opportunities, but as was said, MAF is on fire right now. No chance. TIME.

2nd Period-
The only real notable recording of this period is that Rob Scuderi screwed up bad. A bonehead play. Jaromir takes a shot that deflects up off of MAF's pads and high into the air, at which point Gomez sends his stick above the crossbar to illegally poke the rubber into the net. Scuds knocks Gomez's stick away, and bats it into the net himself, making the goal count for keeps. It was originally washed out, but overturned after extensive video replay. Lundqvist continues to stonewall the Pens. TIME.

3rd Period-
More of the same followed for the majority of the third. Goalies at their best, a few bad calls, and angry New Yorkers. But then, out of nowhere, the Penguins strike. It was not who you generally expect either. BGL makes a sweet saucer pass to Malone, who does the same with Talbot, setting up a give and go for a Pens tally and a one to one tie. TIME.

OVERTIME-
The following is very upsetting. If you want momentary happiness, go to some porno site instead. Trust me.

Just seconds in, Gonch takes a rather dumb penalty. For the first moments of the PP, things go well.
But then, Drury gets a tough rebound, and does what he does, score clutch goals late in the year. What a player.

Notes-
We are still all alone in first!
The Atlantic is pretty much wrapped up now.
The Bucs are winning right now!
Fleury is playing like a monster.

Peace.
