Year in Review Part 2!

Year in Review Part 2. (The Era of Dan Bylsma)

After the GM Ray Shero Fired the old Coach Michel Therrien. Pittsburgh were left without a coach in the middle of the season, no playoff spot, left on the 10th position in the eastern conference. Then Ray Shero made the coach of Baby Penguins Dan Bylsma as Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The fans that did not watch Baby Penguins matches, they didn't have no ide who Dan Bylsma was. they only knew that he was a former player for the Anaheim Ducks. His first match as coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins was against New York Islanders. The match ended with a loss after a Shootout, but still Penguins got 1p. Now every match was a must win.

The next match was against Montreal, Penguins won with 5-4. Malkin and Fedotenko got a 2p night. and Bylsma was unbeaten under regulation time. The era of Bylsma has just started.

First Win with Bylsma.


Then it was time for Flyers (Cryers). Only Bylsma's third match and it was time to face their biggest rivals. The match ended with a win for the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4. Penguins gameplan became much more turnovers and attack. Very effective. next game was against another rival, this time it was the Washington Capitals (crapitals).
I remember this game it was an early game. i watched the match when i got a haircut. i remember this because this was the last time i cut my hair until the end of the Playoffs. i was very sad because Washington had won us now three times. we wanted to show them that we where better, but that had to wait.

Then it was time for the winning streak. We won 7 games in a row. a Win against Islanders with 1-0. Then a win in overtime against Blackhawks 5-4, a remember Malkins overtime goal, Such a nice Slapper.

Win over Blackhawks


Then a win against Dallas Stars with 4-1, Malkin had a 3p night, 1 goal and 2 assists. Win against Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1, Win against Florida with 4-1, Tyler Kennedy got a two goal night, Win Against Washington Capitals 4-3 after a Shootout, Fleury's saves in overtime were AWESOME!

Next Match we lost against Blue Jackets 4-3 after a Shootout, but we made a GREAT comeback, in the third period we scored 3 goals to tie the game but still 1 point. then we lost against Ottawa after a shootout with 4-3 and again still 1 point. Next game was against Boston Bruins, i really remember this game, it was an early game. and i loved this game. One of the most awesome season games that year. we won with 6-4.

Win over Boston


Next game was against Atlanta, and Penguins won 6-2 Gonchar a 4 point night, and Malkin a 5 point night.

Malkins 5 point night.


Next match, Win against the Kings 4-1, The two Headed Monster (Crosby & Malkin) got 2 points each. then came a loss against Flyers 1-3. then a win against Calgary Flames with 2-0, i remember this match because of Malkins very nice pass to Gill that scored and it was when Calgary had taken out their goalie to have an extra skater and we could not score on a opennet.

Can't score on an empty net against Calgary


Then a win over New York Rangers 4-3, Fedotenko got a 3 point night. Win Against New Jersey Devils with 6-1, not every day Penguins just kills Devils in a match.

Penguins won against Tampa bay with 6-4, Staal got a 3 point night, and this win guaranteed Penguins a Playoff Spot We are back Baby!. and won against Islanders with 6-1. Then Penguins Won Against Montreal with 3-1, two shorthanded goals in one night for the win. And Malkin won Art Ross! YAY! The forth player to win Art ross in Penguins, (Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Sidney Crosby and Now Evgeni Malkin. And Pittsburgh Penguins has the record with 13 Art Ross Trophys in only 23 years) "take that fucking Ovie!"
