Pens 4, Islanders 3 OT

This was a game that should not have been as close as the score says. The Pens gave up 3 goals in a matter of 3 mins to turn a 2 - 0 domination into a 3-2 deficit. However Crosby and Malkin were able to get together to tie it up at 3 which allowed Gonchar to finally find the back of the net on the Power play to give the Pens a OT win.

Gonchar was able to remove himself from the list of "Pens who have yet to score", along with Ekman, when he finally got a slap shot on goal during an OT Power Play that was set up Crosby. Crosby was hooked by Yashin which caused the Islander to complain after the game that Crosby get unfair treatment. This really couldn't be more wrong on the Islander part as they got away with numerous infractions on Crosby that went uncalled. There was at least twice that Crosby was high sticked or elbowed in the face where a penalty wasn't called until someone stepped in to defend Crosby. Crosby showed his growing maturity on the ice by skating back to the bench and not saying a word to the Refs when he had every right to. Granted this is all pretty bias but still crying to the media that they weren't given a fair shake is crazy.
