Pens Win!
Hey pens fans,
Tonight, the Pens defeated the Islanders 3-2. This was Crosby's first game back from the groin Injury. The Pens first goal was scored by Colby Armstrong, assisted by Crosby and Melichar. Their second goal was scored by Colby Armstrong from Crosby and Recchi. The Third goal was scored by Thorburn assisted by Staal. In the final seconds Armstrong almost had hiis hat trick. He was pulled down on his way to the empty net and I think it should have been a penelty shot. This was Marc-Andre Fleury bobblehead night at the Mellon Arena. It is his 22nd birthday. He stopped 33 of 35 shots on net. Note: Ryan Malone should be returning within the next couple weeks from a broken forearm. He was cleared to start shooting today.
Happy Birthday Marc-Andre Fleury!26 November 2006

Pens defeat Rangers
Hey pens fans,
Tonight, the Pens took on Jaromir Jagr and the New York Rangers at the Mellon Arena. The final score was 3-1 Pens. Jagr was looking for his 600th goal and I am pleased to say he is still at 599. Jordan Stall scored the Pens' first goal assisted by Malkin and Gonchar. Recchi scored next assisted by Gonchar and Crosby. Recchi scored again assisted by Crosby and Armstrong. Fleury was in goal for the Pens tonight stopping 23 of 24 shots. The Pens played a good game tonight. they were blocking shots in the slot and playing some good defense, which is what they have been needing to do. Our power play still needs a little work. It was the same dump and chase each time and it did work once tonight, but once it failed a few times, the Pens need to move on to a new approach. I think that is something that they need to work on in the coming weeks.

Malkin Saga continues
Hey pens fans,
Well, the Malkin sag ia continuing with the NHL winning a major step. Evgeni Malkin was cleared to stay with the Penguins after a federal court judge denied a demand by his former Russian club, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, that he be yanked from the NHL. Metallurg Magnitogorsk, of the Russian Super League, claimed that Malkin is under contract in Russia. Metallurg sought a preliminary injunction which would have banned the Malkin from playing for the Pens until after the matter is resolved. A ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska clears the way for Malkin and minor leaguers Andrei Taratukhin of the Calgary Flames and Alexei Mikhnov of the Edmonton Oilers to stay with their NHL franchises. Led by Metallurg Magnitogorsk, the Russian clubs sued in October claiming that the NHL broke U.S. anti-trust laws and interfered in their business affairs by signing players who were still under contract with them.

Hurricanes defeat Pens
Hey pens fans,
The final score of tonight's game was 6-2 Hurricanes. The Pens' first goal was scored by John LeClair assisted by Ruutu. The Pens' second goal was scored by Mark Recchi assisted by Ekman and Moore. Thibault was in net for the Pens stopping 24 of 29 shots. (one goal was an empty netter) So, how about the Pens non-goal? Well, to be honest I thought it went in, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. That's all I'm going to say about that. As for the officiating overall, I think that there were a few bad calls and a few missed calls. I think the eofficiating was weak and it had a large impact on the game. I am not one to bash refs, but tonight I feel obligated to. It was that bad. I know that every call cannot be perfect and that refs are only human, but come on. Can you at least make it look like you were trying?
