Wow, we beat Pittsburgh. And I was only using 5 defensemen with Grossman out!! All the scoring occured in the 2nd period. Mark Stuart got his 1st of the year on the powerplay. Toby Petersen got his first and Slater got his first for the game winning goal.
It is clear that our offense runs through Sheldon Souray. He blasted one past Price, and another of his blasts resulted in a rebound goal by Petersen.
After getting out of the crazy 2nd period with the lead, one of the best all-time defensive lockdowns occured in the 3rd. With all those superstars, Pittsburgh only managed 2 shots!! First time I can remember a crowd giving a standing ovation for a defensive performance.
