The Pittsburgh Penguins finally got it together at home tonight. The Pens won game three of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight with a score of 4-2. Much in part of Max Talbot's two goals and three assists from Evgeni "Geno" Malkin. The Pens struck first in the first period followed by two goals by the Red Wings, but Kris Letang tied it up when he netted his fourth goal of the playoffs. The rest of the scoring was done by the Pens, who converted on two of their three powerplay chances. While the Red Wings could only strike on one of their two chances. Detroit edged the Pens in shots and faceoffs. Yet, the Pens were able to prevail and cut the series lead down to 2-1 in favor of Detroit. Game four is slated for Thursday in Pittsburgh at 7 p.m. CDT on Versus.
The Cubs officially said goodbye to their Gatorade dispenser yesterday. Just days after two brutal attacks by Ryan Dempster and Carlos Zambrano, the dispenser will be moved into the hallway. It looks like Ryan Theriot may have a thing with the dispenser because he wants to take it home. Dempster who attacked the machine in the first place said this, "I'm going to miss it. It's part of our team. I gave it a big hug." He must have forgiven the machine that played a trick on him before he attacked it (see yesterday's post).
Just some other things of note:
- Ichiro has hit safely in his 26th striaght game tonight.
- Joe Mauer hit his twelfth home run of the year as he went three for three in the Twins' 4-3 win over the Cleveland Indians.
- Last years' comeback story in Josh Hamilton for the Texas Rangers could be out up to two months with a abdominal strain.
- Ratings are up big in both the Stanley Cup playoffs and the NBA playoffs.
