k, We'll Wait...

After a dominate first period in which the Pens peppered F..L..A goalie Vokoun with 19 shots. The pens looked better than I was hoping for. A  Hal Gill miss play lead to FLA 1-0 lead. Hands of Stone made a nice play to tie the game for the Pens. Look like they were ready to roll, the Panthers looked lack luster so far in such an important game for them.  Then it happened, they play that changed this game dramatically. F..L..A D-man Keith Ballard send Ugly to moon with a hip check.

Ugly was just a little stunned, but his counterpart Sid"The LIP" Crosby comes to stick-up for his fallen Rusky buddy. Result...a powerplay goal for F..L..A with 20 secs left in the period...That was all she wrote.

F..L..A dominated the Pens until midway through the 3rd when the Pens Silk takes a stick to the face..wala..4 min PP...2 mins go by nothing..zilch..natta...Then PP specialist M.Eaton unleshes a shot from the point..GOAL!!!..Dam..do we have a game or not?....Yes, for about little more than a minute

THEN................................................................

F..L..A's Ville Peltonen(sounds like Pesonen) swoons from the corner with like 100 Pens players 

looking around to see if Ugly has landed landed yet for his flight. GOAL!!GAME!!  and another loss.

Oh well... a win and we are in..no panic here.. it will come...perhaps as soon as Tuesday at Tampa.

hopefully maybe the Stars( 4 goals scored by: Captain Close,Pigman,Stone Hands and Specialist) will show up...the grinders tried for 2 games now to get us in...
