Penguins @ Islanders Recap

ufo51 — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:42:23 +0000

For the Islanders, it was NHL rookie John Tavares first NHL game. The opening goal was from Penguins captain Sidney Crosby 8:50 into the hockey game. That was Sid’s 399th point of his career. Then Mark Streit scored a powerplay goal at 12:40, Tavares got his first NHL point on that play with an assist. John Tavares scored his first NHL goal, 7:09 of the second period.”This looks like another really good player … a really special player with talented skills,” Pens coach Dan Bylsma said of Tavares. The score was 2-1 going into the 3rd period. Mark Eaton had scored to tie the game 2-2, but shortly after that goal, Trent Hunter scored for the Islanders to regain the lead they had. It wasn’t looking good for the pens but Ruslan Fedotenko’s shot had deflected off New York Islander defenceman Bruno Gervais, which tied the game at 3, and was assisted by Sidney Crosby that earned him his 400th point, which made him the 6th fastest player to do.

These two teams had to go into overtime to find the winner of this game, but that 5 minute OT period was not enough to determine the winner. It went into a shoot out, with Islander Jeff Tambellini opening it up with a shot that hit the crossbar. Kris Letang was up for the Penguins and scored. Rookie John Tavares was up next for the Islanders. His shot had missed the net, so if Sidney Crosby scores it would be game over. Sidney did so with a five hole goal, “It was a great challenge out there,” Tavares said of going up against Crosby. “You can see why he’s one of the best players in the world, if not the best. He’s a great player and he’s a great leader, as well.” Final score. 4-3

Pens opener

ufo51 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:43:53 +0000

The stanley cup banner has been put up with all the other banners up in mellon arena at todays game . The ceremony started out with a story of the road they had to take to get to the cup. Fans went crazy when the video shifted focus to the playoffs and an exciting opening-round defeat of the rival Philadelphia Flyers, which of course drew the expected boos from Penguins fans. The loudest cheers went to Billy Guerin winning Game 3 by jamming in an overtime winner, and of course Max Talbot hushing Flyers fans after a fight with Daniel Carcillo. They showed there playoff games and momentum changers. The Penguins are playing the New York Rangers today and there playing the Islanders tommorow at 6:30pm, be sure to tune in to FSN.
Then the curtain dropped and the stanley cup was sitting on the table. They also showed off the rings they have earlier in the week.

This ring is the biggest of the three the penguins have.

Ochocinco + Touchdown at greenbay

ufo51 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:52:11 +0000

In the third quarter of the Bengals @ Packers game, Chad Ochocinco had a thirteen yard touchdown catch for the 31-24 win. He did the tradintional Lambeau leap “For a Packers player” into a group of bengals fans. After the game he had said
“It was pretty cool,” he said. “I just wanted to really get the W. The W is the most important because if I leaped and we lost, it’s all nullified, it all makes no sense. To be able to do what I do best, which is I’m always running my mouth and making the game fun.”

The Bengals are now 1-1, and next week is a home game for the bengals against the Pittsburgh steelers who are also 1-1 after the loss to the Chicago Bears.

Patriots VS Jets

ufo51 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:00:09 +0000

The patriots played against the new york jets this week, and lost 9-16. Tom brady couldnt make a comeback drive like last weeks game against the bills. This is the first time in a while that the patriots havent scored a touchdown in a game. Also, this is the first time that the jets won there first two games since 9/11/00 ( i think, not really sure but sounds right ) PATS 1-1 JETS 2-0

The pirates are now officially the worst franchise team ever in the history of any sport basicly. So when you go to PNC park ( Its a nice ball field) to watch a pirate game, make sure you go to the All You Can Eat Seats, which are around 35-40$.
