Straka played tough saturday night, he worried me throughout the game, but fortunately for me, the canes toughed it out and won the game!

The way it has been all season for the canes is they generally win if they score first and lose when the don't. The Pens, Straka, got off to a quick start, but the canes evened it up. The Pens second goal was questionable, appeared to be a high stick on television, but hey, in the end it didn't matter. I couldn't believve that bates Battaglia got the game winning goal, I mean he has been slumping hard this year.
I can't wait for the next meeting between these two teams. I believe the Pens want to change last year's record, Canes 2-0-2.
