How pumped is that kid in the front row?
Ottawa is shit these days, but that dislike of the Sens which was created after playing them 3 times in the playoffs in 4 years is still prevalent enough to conjure up some hatred. Going off of that last night it was pretty satisfying to see the Pens roll to a 5-1 victory.
Kennedy started off the scoring with a sick deflection coming off a Paul Martin shot. Kennedy with what seems to be his 1000th goal of the season. Dude has stepped up when he needed to this year.
Early in the 2nd the Pens do some work in the Ottawa zone. Staal keeps the puck in, Ottawa somehow manages to give up a 3-1 on the PK in their own zone, Kovy with the one-timer...miss...to Kunitz who works it in front to Staal who makes it 2-0 as the penalty expires. A second earlier and the Pens would have had scored on the PP. Something thats gotta get going here in these last 10 games.
Pens go on the PK and the Sens waste little time scoring pretty much off the face off. This goal made Jason Spezza very happy.
Hide yo kids hide yo wives
Pens waste little time though and answer back with a goal to make it 3-1. Ben Lovejoy on a slapper.
Back and forth action for a little bit more than Johnson robs Shannon with the glove from point blank.
The Pens do some more work in the Ottawa zone and Matt Cooke gets a garbage goal in front. 4-1 Pens.
In the 3rd Kovy works off an Ottawa defensemen, dishes it to Jeffrey, who slides it to Sidney Crosby Zbynek Michalek who scores his 3rd goal in 4 games.
Game. Pens win 5-1
Stars of the Game:
3rd Star- Jordan Staal
2nd Star - Chris Kunitz
1st Star- Tyler Kennedy
With the win the Pens keep pace with the Flyers who also won last night 3-2 over Florida. The Pens currently sit in 4th in the East with 90 pts, and sit 3 pts back of Philly, with the Flyers having 2 games in hand. The Pens are off until Sunday when the Rangers come to the town for a matinee. Luckily March Madness also begins this week so the lack of Pens hockey is manageable.
LETS GO PITT!!
