The Power Of The Blog Continues
Penguins 5 v 3 Rangers
And the Pens take a 3-0 series lead in the conference semifinal. Outshot 39-17, the Penguins pulled out a great victory on the back of some solid net-minding from Fleury, and a gutsy performance from every line on the ice, capped (in my mind) by Georges Laraque’s goal, who was obviously spurred on by his mention and photo in my last blog post. And of course, the power of PenguinBlog. A’Hottie was out there again, singing fight songs, and her little army increased in size for this game. I think I also saw some news article about penguin-dancing somewhere out west, but the reports have yet to be confirmed. Regardless, we’re one more win away from the conference finals, so keep Thursday night clear for what promises to be another great game.
GO PENS!!!
And the Rangers are down one due to a lacerated spleen. Geaux Penguins!
How the heck do you lacerate a spleen? I know you can rupture it, but doesn’t ‘lacerate’ imply that it is punctured with a sharp object? I’m sure it will all be blamed on Crosby diving. Everything else is.
If you think of a spleen as a squished grape, it starts to seem plausible. That’s all I’ve got.
Well, that’s just the thing - I kind of understand the squishing, even rupturing of said grape-spleen, but ‘laceration’ conjures up images of someone getting in there with a scalpal, or a sharp pointy stick. But then my mind is a very odd place to live.
