wiggle wiggle

but seriously... the wings won game 2. they actually probably didn't deserve to win, but the fact is that they still did. they got lucky on some non-calls (including one offsides that nobody else has mentioned, so maybe i'm crazy). the pens hit a shitload of posts. and fleury let in one very, VERY bad goal.

...but the team of the old men won 2 games in a row on back to back nights. being that i picked the pens to not only win, but overwhelmingly so, you can color me shocked. and DELIGHTED. two things:

1. it's the kids making it happen. filppula, ericsson, ABDELKADER! and helm making a big splash, even without scoring goals. holy shit, this team is going to be good forever and ever. zetterberg hasn't even scored yet. neither has hossa. datsyuk isn't even playing. no problem. i knew this team had depth, i just had no idea how strongly that depth would pull through. and ericsson just had an appendectomy. oh i said that already? tough. i'm still impressed because he's just SOLID. draws a penalty, scores a goal, and plays some pretty good defense. oh, and not to mention he's really pretty, too.



2. wings haven't even played well yet. they're tired and beat up. i think after this day of rest, they'll be a lot better. now, i don't believe they'll win game 3 in pittsburgh. i think if the pens are going to win any game, it'll be that one. but i just expect to see better hockey from the wings. also, they're supposed to have datsyuk back. and maybe draper. if that happens... oh wow.


a lot of people are complaining about this series so far, and some of it is justified. yeah, tonight the officiating sucked and they missed a lot of calls. and the majority of those should've been on the wings. but the pens dodged a bullet with malkin avoiding suspension for the instigator. BUT the pens avoided lots of calls in game 1. don't forget.

ok whatever. i'm tired and rambling. all this started just because i wanted an excuse to post the wiggle wiggle gif.
