Not the best game for the Pens’ D, Brent Johnson or (for the first time ever) the power play, but nothing mattered — last night surpassed Jordan Staal vs. Detroit from last year as the most exciting Penguins regular season game since… I don’t know… something memorable Rico Fata probably did.
Not to be overlooked with Guerin’s game-tier or Dupuis’ bizarre winner were an insane deflection by Crosby, goals by Mark Eaton AND Jay McKee (on a Mike Rupp backhander), and…another goal by Pascal Dupuis.
Did this really happen?

The saddest part about Guerin performing that miracle is that the truest miracle of the night has been completely overlooked:
McKee scored a goal. A pretty one.
Seriously, this guy is out of his mind. I vaguely remember watching something about how he tapes frakkin foam to the outside of his skates because he’s a human wall that will block your soul from entering heaven. He’s like a Hanson brother without the hyperopia.
Game was amazing though. I think I accidentally stepped on a chinchilla when I leapt off the couch and started my freakout. What a team.

I honestly never realized that Bergeron broke his stick and that was what caused the turnover. Unreal.
