PENGUINS 6 - TRASHERS 3

The Guins welcomed Flower back to the line-up in style Thursday night. MAF was stellar in his return, stopping 28 of 31 shots including some outstanding saves proving his leg is back to 100%.

FIRST PERIOD

The Pens struck early when CookieMonster sniped his fourth goal of the year just five minutes into the contest.
Geno put the Guins up 2-0 four minutes later on a tip in.
The Trashers finally answered with 40 seconds left in the first. Candy and Sid didn't like that though so they went Tango and Cash style and kicked some ATL ass.

FIRST INTERMISSION: PENS 2 - ATL 1
SECOND PERIOD

The second started similar to the first. Staalzy put the Pens up by two just 3:30 in when he tipped Geno's slapper in on the PP.
Just two and a half minutes later Satan converted on another Pens power play. Satan took a pass in the slot and went Gordon Bombay style and deked around Pavelek.
Some Trasher scored a few minutes later to make it 4-2.
Waterboy finished up the second period scoring with another of his patented slappers from the point.

SECOND INTERMISSION: PENS 5 - ATL 2
THIRD PERIOD

An old friend got some face time in the third. Army picked-off an outlet pass with just over five minutes left in the game and sniped his seventh goal of the season over Flower's right shoulder. Army looked miserable in his post-game interview but it will be good to hopefully seem him back in the Burgh next season. Let's hope so, A&L Motors' commercials haven't been the same since.












Geno rounded out the game with an empty-netter to record his second goal of the game to go along with his two assists.

FINAL: PENS 6 - ATL 3
