PENGUINS FALL IN GAME 2 TO THE WINGS BY THE SCORE OF 3-1


For the second straight game of the Stanley Cup Final, the Penguins do not get the bounces they needed to win against the Red Wings. When you don't get the bounces the frustration eventually shows. Just look at last night late in the game, Crosby slashes Zetterberg in the back of the leg,Maxime Talbot speared Osgood in the chest after a save,"I think in the playoffs and finals like this and Malkin getting into a fight with Zetterberg. "I think in the playoffs and finals like this, there is a lot of emotions, a lot of feelings," said Zetterberg. "When you get scrums that's the way it is. It should be a lot of feelings, and nothing more than that."

"It's great, Gino plays with emotion," said Talbot about Malkin's fight. "Guys are stepping up and he wants to be part of that. He's really intense and that's good."The Penguins will look to take all of that emotion and frustration into Game 3 at home. "We got scoring chances and pucks around the net and we did not capitalize on them when we needed to," said Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma. "They got timely goals and they got goals in and around our net and ended up with the victory."The Penguins will also look for some luck in game 3.
