Pens win again, 7-0 against Flyers

Despite a poorly played game, the Pens managed a shootout win over Flyers.

It was one of those nights that things just werent going right. No bounces were coming their way and no one in particular played that well save a few. Crosby was again held pointless, the second time in a week, but the Pens still got teh win.

Crosby got the only goal in the shootout, though Forsberg had Fleury beat on a nice deke, only for the puck to hit the post.

Michele Oullet had a goal and an assist, but still brought down every other player while on the ice. Unfortunately his point getting means Therrien will continue to play him in situations he is not suited for (as in NHL play).

The defense also struggled mightily tonight, not able to get the puck out of their own end. Though credit goes to Knuble, Gagne and Forsberg who all had very good games.

Three Stars:
1) Gagne
2) Forsberg
3) Whitney
