Well, this should theoretically be our second entry as last night’s game was this season’s second game but thanks to the idiots at TWC who decided to show baseball on Friday instead of hockey, we missed the game. Unfortunately for us, Jordan Staal was unexpectedly graceful during last night’s game and we were forced to keep tally of other important events in order to stay busy. So here’s last night’s tally:
++Times Jordan Staal fell: 4.5 (we gave him the half since his first official fall was actually a result of someone shoving him and not of his own volition).
++Most people involved in a Staal fall: 5
++Number of Staal falls accompanied by a succesful goal: 0
++Number of times Malkin ended up in the box: 1 (but he was accompanied by both Guerin and Rupp so it was more like a party than a penalty)
++Number of fights: 5 (impressively high for such a close game).
++Notable fights: The first fight of the game, which was more of a long bear hug than a fight, and the fight involving McKee (#74) where we’re pretty sure he was trying to bite the other guy’s neck, prompting Slick to comment that the Pens clearly “spent the off-season catching up on Twilight.”
Overall an exciting game, not just because of the Pens’ win but because I finally got to see a game end in a shootout. I always manage to miss those and according to the Mighty Ducks movies, all hockey games should end in a shootout. Next Wednesday’s count will be brought to you by Slick as I have some important retracting to do. Hopefully we’ll also have some pictures up of our Jack-o-lanters. :)

It was pointed out to me yesterday that although it feels like they always did a shootout in the Mighty Ducks movies, only the second one ended that way. Apparently, the third one just had a regular goal and the first one had a penalty shot.
