Hey pens fans,
Tuesday night, the Pens took on the Flyers in Philly. The Pens went down 2-0 early in the first period. The Pens answered back with two Power Play goals by Whitney and Sykora to end the period. The Flyers scored 3 goals in each of the final two periods to make the final score 8-2 Philly. Sabourin started in goal and stopped 20 of 25 shots before being relieved by Conklin, who stopped 12 of 15. The Pens had had 22 shots on the night. With the exception of a few good fights by Georges Laraque and Gary Roberts, there is not much we can take away from this game. The Pens need to forget about that game and move on. Yes, it was there first game back east after their western stint, but I do not think it was a huge factor. The players seemed to be okay through the first and then everything started going wrong.

you cant look past it when your division record is as poor as it is with our entire division within like 4-6 points. Ever division game is going to matter from here on out for all 5 teams, thats how competitive this division is.
The Atlantic IS the most competitive in the NHL and I'm lovin every minute of it.
