Wooo Hoooo!
In my last game summary, I stated that Fleury had to have a big game for the Pens to win. He only had to make one save to have the kind of big game that Penguins needed. His save on Ovechkin’s breakaway attempt set the tone for the entire game. Whooo Hooooo! Sorry, I can’t stop.
There is a lot to be said for tense, hard fought battles that go down to the wire, but once in a while I need my team to crush someone. Tonight was a great time to do just that. Finally, the Pens dominant play translated into scoring. Tonight the boys were able to finish those plays they have been unable to finish thusly.
Notes:
Okay, now it is on to the next round. Here is to our boys doing it again; earning an opportunity to prove themselves in the Stanley Cup Finals.
