It's 1991 All Over Again
In a game that reminded me so much of the old school Pens I was looking for Tom Barrasso in net, the Pens survived a back and forth affair 6-5, when Sidney Crosby (the Next One) scored a Power Play goal after Jaromir (I'm Dying Alive) Jagr took a hooking call w a minute and thirty seconds left in the game.
The two teams traded scoring through out the second or third periods after being shut out in the first. The first goal of the game and the first goal of his career came for the Pens short handed breakaway by none other than your number one draft pick Jordan Staal. Other goals were scored by fellow rookie, Letang, Ouellett and two from Ryan Whitney (one short handed).
The bad news is the Pens were badly outshot again in this game. But you have to admire their resilience
Staal played a ton on the Penalty Kill. Let the debate begin as to whether he should be sent to juniors. After three games the only compelling reason to send him anywhere is to delay his free agent year.

There is no reason to send Staal to Juniors. I guess when Malkin is ready his regular shifts maybe limited but he has been solid on the penalty kill. And for the Penguins killing penalties may be more important than scoring goals.
