February hasn’t been the Penguins’ strongest month. Sure, you can’t win ’em all but do you have to set yourself up to lose all of your games unless you’re scoring 4 or more goals per game consistently? The Pens are 4 of 9 for the month of February with a total of 29 goals against. The entire month of January, the Pens let up 31 goals in 12 games. We still have 4 games left for the month of February, a 3 game home stand and trip to Dallas. After getting embarrassed 6-2 today by the Sabres, in what Bob Grove called “arguably, worst game of the season for the Pens”, lets hope they come up with some sort of a defensive solution… or just show up and play like professional sports stars. I would be ok with that too.
Even with the lack of a solid win streak, its always nice to relive the enjoyable parts… the goals… especially when 6 of them are against the Flyers and lead to a W.
Matt Cooke starts off the game to put the Pens up 1-0.
After repeat goals from Jagr, Staal puts in the shorty to make it 2-2.
Cooke shows up on the board again to pull the Pens ahead 3-2.
In yet another pull ahead situation for the Pens, Dusty J makes it 4-3 Pens.
Dupuis gets his just deserves for all his hard work and puts the Pens up 5-3.
To cap it off, the Real 6-year Deal, James Neal makes it 6-3 Pens. (some bum for the flyers made it 6-4 later)

Here’s our 2 goals we somehow managed to get today against the Sabres.
Egelland gets one…
Staal gets one too…
6-2 Sabres… blah.
