BOOM goes the dynamite

And just like that the Pens take a hard fought 2-0 lead over the Flyers Friday night at the Mellon Arena. The game started in a dominate fashion for the Pens with a lot of heavy action in the Flyers zone, unfortunately that's all it would be since Martin Biron showed up to play. The highlight of the first period had to be the announcer on FSN Pittsburgh sating "You gotta make hay when you have the sunlight", i have no idea what that means but I felt it needed to be mentioned.

The game was more of a catchup game for the Pens, but as they did all season they climbed their way back with a huge OT goal from Bill Guerin which was his second of the night. Sixty-three seconds into an extended five-on-three power play, Bill Guerin threw a shot past Biron from the left side of the crease to give the Penguins a 3-2. Guerin's goal was his second of the game and came at 18:29 of overtime, while Mike Knuble and Claude Giroux of the Flyers were in the penalty box.
Both teams will travel east for a 3:08 match up Sunday at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. If the Pens can split in Philly then come back to the Burgh with a 3-1 lead things will definitely be in the Pens favor back home.
