The Penguins pimp-walked into New Jersey last night, to play ‘The most boring team in the NHL,’ well at least, historically. As mentioned in the Game-day, all eyes were on Rusty-nails and Chainsaw-Crosby. Oh, and POJ has returned back to Kris Letang’s basement. Kris will now have someone to help him properly condition his locks.

Ok, back to the game: Thankful the Penguins decided to actualy show up for the first period, however Markstrom was hitting all his angles.

Crosby tried to keep his point per game numbers up, but The Post was feeling very Grinch like, and said “No!” Markstrom did get a glove on the shot, but it was the post that saved his life. Jarry, was also having a good period, and his positioning was also note-worthy.

Second period was a continuation of the first. Multiple chances for both teams, but the goalies were both still dialed in. Jarry’s seal was finally broken late in the second period, as Hischier dog-walked Pickering on the far boards. He sent a pass that made it thru to a waiting Noesen. 0-1 New Jersey. Tis going according to plan, right Mike…right…Mike?

It is the third period, and only a 1 goal game. Yep, boring, stingy Devils. The Penguins kept their heads in the game. Good scrums showed that the team was fighting for the next goal. However, they were out maned in front of their own net by 1 dude. Noesen seems to fend off 3 Pens, allowing the loose puck to end up on the stick of Hischier. Jarry was unable to block the puck and it whet in. Later, Myers got an empty net, to add a turd on top of the shut-out.

Bright points:

• This game is over
• Next game is at home

Negatives:

Honestly, it could be worse. We were in it until the last 13-15 minutes. Zeros tonight could be a big bang next game.
