Now THAT was one fun game to watch.
With probably the best puck movement of the year, the Pens absolutely beat the dog shit out of the Leafs tonight, 8-2.
And it could have been worse, if it were not for Therrien's calling off of the dogs late in the 3rd period, when the pissed off Leafs really got goony.
The game was filled with 34 penalties, which included 19 on the Leafs. The difference in the game was that Pittsburgh was 5 for 10 on the power play, while the Leafs were only 2 for 8, and one of those for the Leafs was directed into the net very nicely by Whitney.
Malkin was a passing machine tonight with 5 assists. Sid was his usual self with a goal and 2 assists.
And oh yeah, Recchi had the hat trick and an assist. He's now 2 goals from 500.
The crowd looked to be the usual mix of a large throng of Leafs fans. It looked in the 3rd period that there were a couple of fights in the stands, based on the entire section of fans near there looking away while the play was going on. Anyone who went to the game, was that the case ??
I did a glance at some of the Leafs message boards before my post tonight, boy those are some whiners on there. Don't you think you should be placing blame with some of your defensive liabilities like Hal Gill, rather than bitching about Crosby every 5 seconds ?? I mean seriously, some of those D-men remind me of Hatcher in Philly.
So now it's onto Dallas and the All-Star festivities for Crosby, Malkin, Staal, and Whitney, and some much-needed time off for everyone else. The Pens travel to Dallas and Phoenix late next week.
