Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, get me the brandy! Sidney Crosby just beat him like a rented mule, more than once. Then, Matt Cooke officially made tonight a hockey night in Pittsburgh (even though the game is in Ontario). But did anyone else see how hard Chris Neil hit Kris Letang after that goal? He hit him so hard his kids will be born dizzy. It’s 4 to 2 and we’re not givin in, so buy Sam a drink and get his dog one, too. The Ottawa Senators just lost their liquor license and Brian Elliott doesn’t know whether to cry or wind his watch. Shave my face with a rusty razor because baby, we’re going dancing with Lord Stanley! Holy Moly Mike Lange is awesome!

Pens Beat Leafs 4-1 With Gonchar’s Luck

The Pens obviously didn’t let the last few losses get them down. They came back strong last night and scored four goals against the Maple Leafs. If you watch the TV above, you’ll see that the game was strange. The score was tied at 1 and with about 14 minutes on the clock in the second period, Sergei Gonchar scored a power-play shot – but nobody noticed. Then, about 15 seconds later, Gonchar got caught tripping Alexei Ponikarovsky. This prompted the officials to review the action . That’s when they noticed that Gonchar actually got a goal! If it weren’t for the tripping call, the Pens wouldn’t have received credit for scoring. Instead of awarding the Leafs a penalty shot, Gonchar got stuck with a hooking penalty that landed him in the box. Seconds after he got back on the ice, Gonchar slammed the puck back into the net again, making it 3-1.

Pens Clean Sweep Against Rangers, 8-3

What an exciting night at Mellon Arena last night! Not only was it hat night at the Igloo, it was Sidney Crosby’s 4th career “hat trick“. In case you don’t already know, that’s what it’s called when a hockey player scores three goals in a single game – Crosby did that not only once, but twice! It’s customary in the NHL to toss your hat to the ice after a player scores a hat trick. Look at all those hats toward the end of the video above!

The next best part of the game was hearing the fans yell “happy birthday” to Pens goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury, who just turned 25.
