Last night, before a standing room only sell-out at the Mellon Arena, the Pens won 5-0 over the Thrashers. It was a great showing by our boys, and it was nice to see them building off that hard fought win at Ottawa earlier this week...
It was also nice because your boys Snack and Diego were in the house, sitting our uppity asses in the West Igloo Club...I know, it's not usually the type of seating you would associate with PNA, but the tix were free and everyone deserves to watch a game like a rock star every now and again...
But back to the game...Every facet of our team was running on all cylinders last night, from the powerplay to penalty killing to 5 on 5...Jordan Staal scored his second goal of the season, and Ryan Malone continued his hot streak by adding a rebound goal on the powerplay...
Kudos also go to Marc Fluery, who shrugged off his horrible showing versus the Senators to pitch his second shutout of the season...Maybe he'll turn it around, maybe he won't, but at least he has the potential to be something amazing...Now if only that damn Canadian would do it game in and game out we'd be going somewhere...
Check back with PNA for Diego's Monday Morning Hangover for more details from the game...
And finally, the Pitt Panthers ended all the talk about them squeezing into a bowl game by losing at home to South Florida, 48-37. After a deflating 80 yard TD scamper by South Florida's QB Matt Grothe to start the third quarter, the offense reverted to their early season form and could not match the Bulls punch for punch...It puts an end to any bowl hopes, and hopefully puts an end to Matt Cavanaugh's career, but I guess we'll have to wait a few weeks to find that out...
Until lata on...
