Highlights: Penguins vs Senators: Game 2 2010 Playoffs

The Pens come through!

I went down to watch on the lawn. I knew there wouldn't be as many people there because of the weather, but I was still surprised at how many fans decided to show up!

I got down there without really getting wet since I waited for a few waves on the radar to pass. It seemed like everything was going to be great and then right as they drop the puck it starts to rain.

The Sens score right away. STUNNED. The rain came down harder and harder during the first period. Even under my umbrella I was getting soaked. My socks are still wet and I've been working on this video for hours. Things weren't looking good, thoughts such as, "What the hell are you doing watching this in the rain?" cross your mind.

But then Crosby scores! All of a sudden, it wasn't raining so hard, haha! Funny how that happens.

This game was really physical. Both teams throwing hits. I hope Leopold is going to be ok, but that's why the Pens have 7 NHL defensemen. Still had to play the rest of the game with 5 after that hit though.

By the 2nd period it had stopped raining, and the rest of the game was quite enjoyable in terms of weather. The score remained 1-1 at the end of two periods.

Close chances at both ends in the third. A puck almost gets by Elliott after a faceoff from Staal. A puck slides by Fleury but Crosby is there to bat it out of the way (do you think Ovechkin would ever be in that position around his own net?)

Late in the third, Crosby takes over. Dancing behind the net. We've seen these moves before. He circles back and forth, finally runs out of room and gives it back to Letang. Slapshot....SCORE!!!! I managed to get it on footage. What a feeling! What a game!

Series tied going into Ottawa. LET'S GO PENS!

@buccofan27 Nice! It was a great crowd for how bad the weather was. The one guy who kept standing up during commercials was funny. "PENS FANS! ARE...YOU...READY?!"

As someone who's not exactly the biggest Crosby guy, I have to tip my cap to him for last night. Showed how much of an all around player he's become. Made the early turning point play of the series by that diving save to get the puck out of the net. Perhaps in June, your team and mine can meet for a rubber match.

@ivand87a Should we start a donation fund? :p I'd love to have HD stuff but I wouldn't even know what to buy.

Definition of real fans, getting poured on outside and still watching the game.

@civi40 If by "destroyed" you mean, "won a nail-biter in OT", then yes.

Of course when Orpik goes to make a hit, the guy avoids it, and it ends up being knee-on-knee it's just an accident but when Ovechkin does it, he's the dirtiest player ever and should be banned from the NHL...

That's really cool that they do that there in Pittsburgh....Its too bad those greedy D-bags over at NBC won't allow them to do that for the finals.

Crosby just made Spezza look silly
