I don’t wanna say I don’t care that they lost, because that makes me sound like I’m not a true fan. So, I’ll rephrase it. I don’t mind that they lost, because being there in person was awesome. Just being in the arena was amazing. And there were some highlights to last night’s game.
For one thing, it was Jordan Staal’s 300th game. This would seem like no big deal, but it is. He is actually the youngest player (21 years old) in the NHL to have ever gotten to 300 games. Go Staalsy.
It was the night of 300’s, last night. First, Staal’s aforementioned 300th game, and Fedotenko got his 300th NHL point. It came from an assist on the Pens only goal. Malkin scored the goal, and Nick Johnson, also assisted.
Well, there may not have been any good fights, but there were some scuffles and one particularly hard hit on Ottowa’s Chris Neil, delivered by Sergei Gonchar.
So, better luck next time boys…I blame it on the blue jerseys. Next victim, the Wings.
And here’s a quick stat update:
Evgeni Malkin is up to 54 pts (19 goals, 35 assists).
Sidney Crosby is still #3, in the NHL, for points and goals (67 and 33 respectively).
The Pens are 4th in the conference, and tied for 7th in the league.
I will a few more pictures later.
