55 shots? Jesus. Franchise record.
And that's with the Pens missing TWO of their top-6 forwards.

[Huge thanks to Bobby T for the video.
How about that dude walking out as the video starts.]

Doesn't matter how many times you see it, watching the Pens win a game in OT will never get old. Especially a hard-fought game against a dirtbag Rangers team that doesn't even belong on the same ice as the world champs.

Not sure if it is just the post-deadline hype lingering or the fact that we all know the playoffs are coming, but we're finally exhaling this bated breath we've held in all season. We aren't getting spoiled and only getting pumped about the Pens once the calendar turns to March, but there seems to be a hop in Pens fans' steps recently. A two-goal comeback in MSG only takes that to another level.

This game should not have been close.
MAF gave up four goals on 12 shots?
After that, the Rangers got 4 shots.

We read somewhere that Johnson's 4-save masterpiece was one of the lowest save totals for a winning goalie in a long-ass time. Wish we had more resources than Google for that. We refuse to look into using Elias Stats Bureau, 'cause we hate Patrick Elias.

Malkin had unlimited shots. Malkin has 15-game point streak. Rob Rossi sucks.
Jordan Staal has offically launched into "awwww shit" mode.

The Pens' last three March records have been insane, and they are already off to a good start.
Big time weekend ahead.
The Poni Express will be arriving at Steel Plaza at 1:00pm tomorrow.

Speaking of Poni, check out how the Pens are welcoming him to town:

BiggJohn posted this in the comments.

That's pure class.
You see that, and you're ready to run through a wall.
There was a billboard for Leopold, too.

And apparently A.O. has graduated from pushing camera-wielding women to shooting people.
Never mind. It wasn't him. Caps won last night.

Luca Caputi is also very happy becoming a Leaf.

According to Empty Netters, Mark Eaton is questionable for tonight's game.
 
Deadline Recap

A couple of things before we take a dump on the rest of the NHL.

First, this from the PG:

"Although Versus will carry the game tonight nationally, it has depleted its exclusive game rights,
so the game will be shown locally on FSN Pittsburgh."

Also at that link, S.A. sheds some light on MAF's situation:

"Conversely, Fleury needed a couple of practices to regain his bearings after getting most of his workouts off the ice while with Team Canada. As the third-stringer behind older goalies Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur, Fleury did not play in any games, dressed as a backup for just one, and was not very active in practices."

Poni is no dice. Doesn't have a working visa for the U.S.
MAF is starting.

..............

Finally, keep your eye on PUCK THE MEDIA today for two things.

One is something about the FSN ratings from the Buffalo game...

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fw7iF68JR8k/S4-uiKCj_sI/AAAAAAAAv9k/D2B6LbrdkXc/1crosby28.jpg

And the second has something to do with Bing posing "in the buff" for some ad.
We're catering to the female audience on this.

Male Penguins fans couldn't care less.
Meanwhile, males from Washington, Philly, and Detroit can't wait to talk about it.
Funny how that works out.  Homos.

After the jump, a poor attempt at some trading-deadline report cards.
