RECAP: Yeah. We Got That. PENS WIN. Source: The Pensblog
The Pens are skating wounded. They have been since February 2011, but now it's getting ridiculous. Ben Lovejoy's out. Michalek's out. Niskanen was out for this one. The Pens' blue line this game included two guys who haven't suited up for the Penguins all season. It's pretty impressive that there weren't any defensive breakdowns; it was actually a couple of bizarre turnovers that almost did the Penguins in. That and the relentless slashing and stickwork from the Kings. It was getting ridiculous. But the Pens persevered. Kunitz tied it in the shadow of the final buzzer and then he won it in the shootout. Chris Kunitz nowhere to be found in the 3 Stars of the game. Should be an interesting week coming up. Crosby rumors should be coming to a boiling point. These past two games have us addicted to Western Conference hockey, and thankfully the Dallas Stars are coming to town on Friday. Read More for the recap… T.K … The rest is here
