Canadiens take down Penguins in OT


The Montreal Canadiens had 3 different leads on Monday night on goals by Andrei Kostitsyn, Corey Locke, and Alexei Kovalev. The last of the three came with 29 seconds remaining in overtime. Each of the other two leads were countered by goals from Sidney Crosby and Ryan Malone. Crosby also took an uncharacteristic 6 penalty minutes, leading the Penguins. The only Canadien with more penalty minutes was Andrew Archer, who fought Georges Laraque in the first period, and also had a minor for roughing earlier that period.
Marc-Andre Fleury played the entire game for the Penguins, while Cristobal Huet and Yann Danis split time for the Canadiens.
3 Stars:
3. Andrei Kostitsyn (MON)
2. Sidney Crosby (PIT)
1. Alexei Kovalev (MON)

Is it just me... or does that ref look genuinely sad for Fleury? Aww.

I'm going to have a heart attack for sure if the Pens play that "Cardiac Kids" game again, this time from the beginning of the season even. It's just the preseason now, I know, I know...

Pens win tomorrow.
Wait, no there'll be no Sid, supposedly...
I hope the Pens win tomorrow.
(Lol.)
