The Flames are such an old school team, and i mean that in a good way. They play very physical. I saw guys taking long runs at people in neutral ice, most of the time they missed but the Penguins were definitely aware that they stood a good chance of getting ran over every time they got the puck.
Great to see the Penguins get a win, and more importantly MAF looks to be breaking out of his mini slump, and the PP had a goal. The PP was very interesting last night with people moving around all over the place. The big change we saw was Malkin took Crosby's spot and GoGo took Malkin's spot while Crosby is now lurking in front of the goalie. I liked this move, Malkin clearly can't play on the other side of the ice and we know how affective Crosby can be infront of the cage. But you have to wonder if it is a good idea to put your star player infront of the net taking a beating from the D and getting hit with shots from the point. The other thing I really don't understand is why the coaching staff uses Gogo on the left point rather than Kris Letang. Letang is right handed so he could take the one timer, plus he has a great shot and moves the puck extremely well. Hopefully the Penguins and there PP continue to roll tonight in Edmonton.
