PENS WIN! So they had a two goal lead, let it get away and had to slog into double OT to take a 3-1 lead in the series. A win is a win is a win and last night…
James Neal, you stud! Way to make up for a lack of production in a big way. The Nealmobile honked itself silly in the middle of the night, so everyone on my block knew you scored the game winner! [post-game video]
Max took a “legal hit to the head” that sent him curling to the ice, then he was back at the start of the next period. Jordan sent himself headfirst into the boards, looked rattled… and didn’t miss a shift. Tanger had his kitty claws out all night, but no one wanted a scratch (well not the Bolts). Such tough guys.
Pens Backstage Pass is the greatest thing ever – do this all season. DISCO DAN, SO HAPPY! I can’t even describe how much he is the greatest thing ever. Sid with the high-fiving, Geno with the gym clothes and, I’m sorry Cookie. Did this win interrupt the donut you were eating? [video]
So basically Saturday is cancelled because I’ll be watching the Pens at 12 and the Caps at 3. I would really like to go to the Caps game, but if they end up playing the Pens later on I’ll wish I’d saved my pennies. So I’ll be on the couch (and Twitter) freaking right the heck out. Bring it on!

I love Neal’s ginger scruff! I think the whole team should rub it for good luck, like a pet rock or something.
I was right there with Dupuis wanting to rip Brewer’s head off while Max lay curled in the fetal position on the ice. Beware, Brewer! Duper will smother you in his beard that comes up to his eyeballs! You will get lost and never find your way out of the furry, French forest!
And umm… hey there Arron Asham, where the hell have you been all season?
Paging Nurse (Nearly) Cassy AGAIN?! They’ve gotta stop this injury nonsense. Attention seeking. I’ll get to the ones that hurt them later. I WILL find them.
I don’t like Trannysaurus Rex, but I’m still working on nicknames. Thus far it’s Grumpy Staal for Eric, Ginger Staal for Marc; I’m gonna go with Tiny for Jared, as he’s, well huge, more than the rest and stick with Baby Staal for Jordy. You like?’
I was a sociopath last night – screaming at the goals, the missed penalties, and Nealer’s double OT win – I never knew so much profanity could come out of my mouth!
I even had to pick my husband up from work at the start of the third period – and LIVE STREAMED the radio broadcast on my iPhone – desperation, friends.
Saturday is going to be AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING.
Power of the ginger beard!!!
How bad do I want to bite his bottom lip in that picture? Uuuuuugh.
I need my back scratched … here kitty kitty, here kitty kitty …. meow …
