"I can't believe what I just saw"
The Pens just got the most improbably win I"ve ever seen. Down 4-1 with less than 10 minutes to play with a pulled MAF, Pittsburgh rallied behind beleaguered backup Joceyln Thibault to win a shootout.
They weren't just down 4-1. They were getting completely outplayed. Taking stupid penalty after stupid penalty. Ryan Whitney didn't even look like he had menatally crossed the Canadian border.
With the third period slipping away and the Pens again on the penalty kill, the man, Jordan Staal (who else) gets a short handed goal and the comeback was on. goals by Roberts (great pickup Shero, everyone still upset about losing Noah Welch?!?) and Ryan Malone (everyone wanted him traded but he comes to play again) tie it up and Thibault makes some tough saves to take it to overtime. With neither team able to score in the overtime period and Thibault not Fluery at goal, the game was still up for grabs. But TBo stood strong against Heatly and Christensen (does he ever not score in a shootout?) scored to give the Pens a 1-0 shootout lead. Malkin failed to score on the Pens second shot but the Sens couldn't score either and it came down to the third shot. The Sens managed to get their third shootout shot past Thibault which left it up to Sidney to finish the comeback. As he cooly blistered in his shot I could only think one thing...Eat That Rendell.
