The atmosphere at the Consol Energy Center was dare I say " Charged ", even " Electrifying ". The Penguins called for a white out and the entire Center was waving white towels, but the Penguins did anything but surrender.
Tampa Bay has former Pittsburgh Penguin Ryan Malone (number six), one of my favorite players when he wore a Penguin uniform. He played last night's game hard in front of the net, just like we loved when he did it for our team.
Some of the fans booed Malone, that's something I would never do. He's a local guy, grew up in the Burgh and played his heart out in a penguin uniform. And as you can see he still loves the game.
But once again the star of last night's show was Marc Andre Fleury, who registered a shutout giving the Penguins a 3 to 0 win and setting the tone for this playoff series.
The Stanley Cup is 35 pounds of silver but takes an entire team to lift, last night every member of the Pittsburgh Penguins was pulling their weight. If they keep working hard I see silver in their future, Let's Go Pens !
