4/20/09 - I think the subject says it all really. Friday night was a great game. The Pens tied up the game late in the third and got a rare 5 on 3 power play in playoff overtime and captitalized on it to win the game.

4/17/09 - Game 2 of the Pens series is tonight. In a little side news already from this series Carcillo from the Flyers was suspended for tonight for punching Talbot off the faceoff at the end of the game.
