The Penguins got on the scoreboard in a big way last night, jumping to leads of 2-0 and 3-1 before holding onto a 3-2 victory in game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Probably because he was laughing too hard at Sidney Crosby's attempt at a playoff beard, Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood was unable to stop the Penguins' captain's first two shots, and the underdogs from Pittsburgh held on for the rest of the game. Looking remarkably like their counterparts from Detroit, the Pens kept possession of the puck for most of the end of the third period, preventing the Red Wings from mounting a serious attack with their goalie pulled in the final minutes.
On a different note, Wings leading scorer Johan Franzen is amazing. He's roughly the size of a tractor trailer yet he's able to dance through opposing defenses like a young Peter Forsberg. What is it with giant Swedes being able to move like that? If I wasn't already taken by a dashing baseball player, I might be tempted to develop another man crush. Tune in Saturday night for the exciting game 4 on, oh fuck it, you're not going to watch anyway you football swilling assholes!

Finally! After 4 months of no Penguin hockey, much anticipation, and 3 national anthems hockey season in Pittsburgh has finally started. Ok, so it's in Sweden, but who's gonna be choosey? Of course I still dislike these season opening games outside the United States, guess it's just good that after tomorrow's game the Pens have until next Saturday to recover from their jet lag.
Anyhoooooo..
Tyler Kennedy scored within the first minute of the game, doing that shot that he's becoming famous for, shooting off the left side after swinging around the net. The goal was wicked, catching Gerber on his short side. Pens 1-0
