Pens Double Up on Bruins

Erik Christensen scored two goals and Crosby added three assist to extend his points lead as the Pens beat the Bruins 4-2.

Things did not start off well as the Bruins scored 45 seconds into the game. But everytime the Bruins scored the Pens answered back. The Pens displayed another strong game against the Bruins, cycling the puck and keeping it in their posession much of the time. Strong game by the team all around.

Phill Kessel did have a nice goal batting his own rebound out of the air. Armstrong, who scored the Pens second goal, caught a high stick to the face and came back in the second period with a visor and swollen eye, but didnt seem worse for wear. Nils Ekman also played well, seeing action on the 4th line. It was nice to see him get a chance again, though I wouldnt hold out hope he replaced Ouellet anytime soon. The PEns also didnt seem to miss a beat with Roberts out with a swollen knee.

And sadly, no Laraque Chara fight, but that was to be expected.

Bobb Errey was as awful as normal. He continues with his lame jokes, repetitive comments (he said Therrien was steaming about five times and fuming about 3 times within a ten second period). Please, for the love of god, get rid of Errey after this year! He makes every broadcast torturous.

Three Stars:
1) Christensen
2) Kessel
3) Crosby
