Stanley Cup Playoffs- Round 1, Game 2 Pens vs Flyers

Now, that the playoffs are over, I can go back and blog about the games that I was lucky enough to get to go to!

Game 2 was crazy. Any game that involves the Penguins and the Flyers is always interesting (last time I went to a Pens/Flyers game, a guy had a blow up doll hanging out of his car window in the parking lot... 'nough said)! For the most part, everyone wa respectful and only booed fans in Flyers jerseys. It was loud in the arena for most of the game until the Flyers took the lead, then it got pretty quiet.

The Pens were losing toward the end of the 3rd, but managed to tie it up before the end of the period, which meant... OVERTIME. Overtime is nervewracking enough watching it on tv, but that is nothing compared to being there in person. Every shot, turnover, and rush up ice is magnified by 100. But, thanks to Billy G, the Pens won and took a 2-0 lead in the series.
