The Penguins dominating 7 - 3 victory was a fitting way for the Penguins to close the Mellon Arena's regular season history book. The Penguins dominated this game from start to finish and got contributions from two players who have been slumping lately in Gogo and Billy G. Crosby and Malkin also shined in this game putting up 2 goals and 5 assists between the to of them. Crosby's goal was his 49th of the season which puts him back in the goal scoring lead and leaves him one goal shy of 50 on the season. It looked like he had got his 50th in the second period but after the game it was announced that that goal had gone off Guerins leg for his second goal of the game and 21st of the season. Its hard to believe but with Crosby's 4 point game last night he has actually put himself back in contention to win the scoring title this season. Its a long shot but if he finishes the season with two more huge games and Hedin and Ovechkin slump it will be close. Lets hope the Penguins can breeze through their last two games like they did this one so they can carry some momentum into the playoffs.
Negatives for the Game:
-Not to many when you win 7 - 3 but MAF didn't play a great game despite getting the win and making one incredible save.
-Poni continues to look like he was a bad acquisition and he will now be suspended for 1 game after boarding an Islander in the third period. Unfortunately for the Penguins this was the most enthusiasm we have seen out of him since he joined the Penguins. His guy actually makes Kunitz look like a legitimate first line winger.
