Penguins Rally, Send Philly Packing

Sid “The Kid” Crosby and Sergei Gonchar played an incredible game to rally the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia Saturday.

From WTAE in Pittsburgh:

Gonchar scored 2:19 into the third period and the Penguins eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers with a 5-3 victory Saturday in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

The Penguins, who beat the Flyers in the conference finals last year, have to wait to find out who they’ll play next.

I have to admit I’m superstitious sometimes.  I don’t write about my teams in the middle of the playoffs.  I know that’s silly.

Congrats to the Penguins, and hats off the the Philly Flyers for playing inspired hockey.


Pittsburg Penguins: Take More Shots on Goal During Powerplays

I know it’s easy for me to say, especially since I don’t play hockey.  But as a fan watching the Pittsburgh Penguins losing 2-0 after two periods against Philadelphia right now, I see the Penguins only took TWO shots on goal during powerplays to Philly’s 5.

Philly is 2-5 on powerplay shots.

It’s just very frustrating to watch the Penguins play so conservatively, waiting, it seems, at times, for Philly to get their defenses in place before making a move on offense.

Turn it on, boys.  And turn it up.
