RECAP

Game Changing Play
In the final 2 minutes of regulation, the Pens put an incredible barrage of shots on Halak and he fended them all off.
Grades
Offense- B Yea, so they didn't score but they still looked decent hence the decent grade.
Defense- A- Looked great up until the overtime.
Johnson- A He should have had a shutout too.
Powerplay- C They had their chances, but couldn't convert.
Penalty Kill- A- Well they killed them all off, so I guess that is deserving of a good mark.
3 Big Points
-Ok, so Johnson played and he played great but one still wonders why Fleury didn't get the start...
-Overtime losses aren't all that bad vs Western teams. I'll take that point.
-Sid and Geno were together a lot. I wonder if this trend will continue once Staal and Asham return.
My 3 Stars (note that although they do conincide this time, these will not always be the official game's 3 stars, but rather my own)
1. Jaroslav Halak
2. Brent Johnson
3. Erik Johnson
