But we got to see Canadian TV and it was wicked awesome! The announcers began the game by welcoming everyone to the nation's capital, and my first thought was, "Wait, they're not playing the Capitals. I would know if Ovie and Sasha were there, right?" Then I remembered...of course, there are other countries! Silly American. So I enjoyed hearing about the mould-guard flooring products and constant requests to purchase Centre Ice. How quaint. Ottawa's fans were really into the game. I guess there's not a lot to get pumped about when you're staring into the abyss of a Canadian winter, so they take their excitement where they can get it. Our recap:
++Times Jordan Staal fell: 2
++Most people involved in a Staal fall: none this time...quelle suprise
++Staal falls resulting in a goal: Still at 0, but he is rather distracting
++Number of times Malkin ended up in the box: 1 (Probably would have been at least 2 if he hadn't been saved by the bell at the end of Period 1)
++Number of fights: Only 1 this time...but it was a decent one
Staal did manage some pretty creative footwork in the final period, which led to an Ottawa faceplant while Staal remained upright. I guess the refs weren't so pleased by that, as it landed Jordan in the box. Ultimately, the Senators held onto a 2-1 lead for less than a minute in the second period...they had yet to finish announcing the assists on that goal before Pittsburgh tied it up and never looked back. Final score: Penguins 4, Senators 1.
Riz will (hopefully) be bringing the next recap, as she had the glorious opportunity to watch the Penguins play live! Stay tuned.
