Pens Keep On Winning

from Mark Spector of the National Post,
Pittsburgh won more puck battles, gave up less quality chances than the Rangers, and the Penguins’ 23-year-old goaltender, Marc-André Fleury was as good as he had to be and better than the Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist, a 26-year-old Vezina candidate. Fleury’s workload through two games of this series has not been as difficult as Lundqvist’s, but the only numbers that matter are two fewer goals against for Fleury, and two more wins.
“It was 1-0 with 15 seconds to go. That’s how small the difference between these two teams is,” Lundqvist said. “We just have to go back home, and still feel confident that we can beat this team. Go back to New York, worry about ourselves, get two wins.”

The Penguins don’t ever get credit for being able to win close games. They’ve done it throughout the year, and did it again today. Sure, their biggest strength is offense, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t do the little things right to win. The difference today - Penguins shut down the Rangers power-play.

Laker - Whah, whah, whah. Same ole story. Everyone outside of NY has said that neither call you are crying about were dives.
Keep reading Larry Brooks and buying into your excuses. Your team didn’t score. How do you expect to win?
