GAME ONE: Pens 3 - Bears 1

Colin McDonald netted two goals, Cal O'Reilly notched his first in Black and Gold, and the Pens posted a 3-1 win over the Bears in Game One of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.  All of the particulars can be found here:  GAME ONE RECAP

Some quick notes from the night:

  • Alexandre Picard and Jason Williams each had two assists
  • Brad Thiessen stopped 19 shots, and came within 1:52 of posting the shutout
  • The Pens were 2 for 5 on the power play.  The Bears, who had the number one power play unit during the regular season, were 0 for 3.
 Off the ice, the building was rocking.  Seriously, when was the last time you heard it that loud in the arena?  Thanks to the St. Gregory's Academy Chorus for their fantastic performances during the night.  Here they are with everyone's favorite newcomer, Calder the Penguin:

 We hope to see everyone back at the building tomorrow for Game Two.  More noisemakers coming your way.  Let's rock this town!
