Game 2 Review / Game 3 Outlook

The Penguins widened their series lead to 2-0 with a 4-2 win over the Flyers sunday night at Mellon Arena. This game featured at times suspect play by The Penguins, but nothing that a good playoff team couldnt over come. Lead by goals from Sidney Crosby, Marian Hossa, Max Talbot, and an Empty Netter By Gronk ( Jordan Staal.), The Pen's were able to weather the Flyers storm and send the series back to Philly with a sour taste in the Flyers mouth.

The game was full of give-aways and lackluster passing at times, however it was nothing to be alarmed of just yet... The Penguins players know that they were lucky to come out on top of this one, and if they play another uninspired game like this they may not be so lucky.

"It wasn't our best game," "But we found a way to win. And that's what good teams do." Said Penguins Center Jordan Staal.

Scary Gary had this to offer.

"It's nice that we found a way to win, but we're going to have to be a little better than we were tonight," Winger Gary Roberts said. "We don't want to win like that every night."

Looking Ahead

Game 3 should prove to be the turning point in the series. The Flyers backs are against the wall and are poised to scrape for a win by any means necessary. The Penguins need to play their game and stick to their defensive system and all will be well. DO NOT get caught up in the goonery which no doubt will be coming in the form of that sorry ass puke Scott Hartnell.

Lets go Pens


Geno for Con Smythe
