James Neal Finally Scores, Puts the Penguins Up 3-1


Game 3 was pure heart attack city.  There's really no other way to describe it.  The Penguins blew a 2-0 lead and Tampa seemed to have all the momentum heading in overtime.

After some scary moments and chances from both sides, the Penguins seemed to calm down, bolstered by the solid play of Marc Andre Fleury in net. 

In the end, Neal threw a seemingly innocent shot at the net but, in the NHL, no shot is innocent.  Lightning goaltender Dwayne Roloson just couldn't get his elderly arm to the puck and it went in and out faster than you on Prom Night.

Just like that, the Pens go up 3 games to 1 and look to close out the series this Saturday at high noon.

Screw noon hockey games.  What is this, college football?


Go Pens.
