The Pens, despite their best efforts in the third, were able to beat the Canadiens in the shootout. Not only is it good to have the two points in the tight playoff race, but they seem to be getting a lot of confidence in the shootout now.
Gonchar was on fire, and Crosby, despite not having a good night, managed three assists. Malkin came out with two points also and Fleury continued his stellar play. Two of the goals were deflections that he couldnt have stopped, so the four goals against is a bit misleading, especialyl when Rob Scuderi makes sure the puck goes into the net.
I am growing more tired of Bob Errey by the game. How many times did he mention the butt of the stick hitting Crosby? Two, three dozen? And Steigy wasnt much better with his "the Habs have had their pride damaged and are battling back." Granted I agree the Habs did do a good job of getting a point, but Steigy, we are watcing the game and we can see that.
Also, I seriously wonder what the refs were thinking in not giving Armstrong a penalty for fighting Souray. He hit him while on the ground, not to mention actually dropped the gloves first. Carboneau had every right to be pissed at that.
Regardless, it was a very entertaining game and anyone that watched it as a neutral fan was in for a treat.
