Sid and the gang welcomed the Losers from the Island just one night after Ed Hochuli made his officiating debut in the NHL and helped the Devils to a 4-1 win.
The Waterboy was back in the Pens' lineup so the Rev. was sent packing back to WBS. Not to worry, Mikey T still had three WBSers to randomly toggle through his lines.
FIRST PERIOD
The first opened with JoeyMac looking easier than Tara Reid on dollar drink night.
Just over six minutes into regulation Satan found Pastel (he's soft) from across the ice. Just inside the blueline Pastel decided to unleash a snipe that he only decides to use once every 6.5 games. JoeyMac didn't bother to stop it.
Six minutes later the Guins found themselves on the right side of a 5-on-3. Satan didn't like the way 5-on-3s went against New Jersey so he decided to score. JoeyMac didn't bother to stop it.
With 3:30 left in period 1 a trashbag scored.
Don't worry, ten seconds later Sicky answered with a 45-foot one-timer from Geno. JoeyMac didn't bother to stop it.
First period scoring was rounded out by the Waterboy who scored his first goal as a Penguin with a snapper from the point. JoeyMac didn't bother to stop it.
The Guins finished the first 20 minutes with 19 shots on goal.
FIRST INTERMISSION: PENS 4 - ISLES 1
SECOND PERIOD
More of the same. The second period opened with Yann Danis (yeah, that's his name) looking easier than Lindsay Lohan on dollar drink night.
Geno got things going early when he stuffed a GoGo rebound into a wide open cage two minutes in.
Sicky notched his second of the night on the PP eight minutes into the second. Similar to his first goal, Sicky unloaded a one-timer that trickled through the legs of Danis.
With 4:18 left it happened. 43 two-goal games in the making, Sicky finally turned a trick. On another power play Sid found the magician alone in the slot who redirected into the mesh.
The second was brought to a close with Pastel scoring his second of the game and recording his first ever two-goal game.
SECOND INTERMISSION: PENS 8 - ISLES 1
THIRD PERIOD
The third looked like an actual period of hockey.
Spicy Curry looked exceptional in net until Andy Sutton scored his first goal since coming out.
With three minutes left in the game Cookie Monster enterd the zone on a 2-on-1 and said to Danis, "It's you, me and Dupree," to which Danis replied, "shit."
Cookie passed to Pastel who beat Danis with a backhander to score his third goal of the game on his 63rd scoring opportunity. Pastel doubled his season goal total in one game.
The game ended with Pens fans chanting, "We want 10," to no avail.
FINAL: PENS 9 - ISLES 2

I couldn't watch the game tonight. Damn fine summary. Damn fine win.
JoeyMac didn't bother stopping much eh?
I didn't get a chnance to watch the game either because of work, but I did catch it on Nhl on the fly.
Just remember even though this was very entertaining, it was only the Islander. Congtrats to Peter Gunn and Dupe on the HT last night.
let us see how they handle the Cryers tomorrow.
I hope they can bring it strong against the tomorrow. Huge game. Don't expect another Dupuis ht anytime soon though.. Wow I still can't get over it...
