The Senator is not pleased. Then again that face always looks sour.
After avoiding elimination with a triple-OT win in Pittsburgh via a rather weak point shot from Carkner (really? NOW you decide to be an NHLer?) the Ottawa Senators put up a defiant battle to win another. Alas it wasn't meant to be. Up 2-nothing, then up 3-1, of all the rat bastards in the world to tie it that fucker Matt Cooke is the one who sends the game to OT.
Contrary to what the CBC thought, the Pens looked gassed all game. Fleury looked surprised on every shot he faced, no one remembered their positions, and actually attempting to score on anything but the rush was inconceivable. And credit the Sens were wearing the Pens down. Crosby wasn't allowed to breathe anymore. Malkin got thrown around. Shot blocking to the point of annoyance. But all it took was one slingshot over Leclaire to end it.
If the triple-OT game inspired the Habs, I hope they learned from this one as well. (Though apparently Chocula is scratching Sergei, and unless he's sick apparently Chocula wants us to lose).
It's heartbreak in Ottawa. See you in October.
