Pens Fall to the Leafs

Hey pens fans,
Tonight the pens faced the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Mellon Arena for the 3,000 game in franchise history. The final score was 1-0. Marc-Andre Fleury played a solid game for the pens. It was an unusual game. At the end of the first period the pens had a goal disallowed, because time had run out. I am not saying the refs were wrong, but it was awful close. The power went out twice during the pens 5 minute penelty kill in the 2nd period. The rest of the 2nd period was played at the start of the 3rd. It was a heated game. It was quite odd, because there were probably just as many, if not more, Leafs fans at the game than Pens fans. It is not a good sign whe the chants of "Go Leafs Go!" drowns out the "Let's Go Pens!" The game winning goal was scored on a Penelty shot by Chad Kilger. The fact that the shot was awarded was questionable at best. I think we deserved a tripping penelty, but I did not see grounds for a shot. However, it is not my job to critique the officials, though in this case I disagree with their call.
