Announcers' 3 stars of the game: Thomas, Jokinen, and Curry; the one announcer remarked that the Thomas, Talbot and Fedotenko line was the best line on the ice

- GOAL - KENNEDY (assists: Letang, Goligoski)!!! Penguins take the lead back, 3-2
- LIGHTNING penalty - instigating AND misconduct (Penguin PP)
- ALL majors; no man-advantage (Henrich / Konopka - 5 minute fighting majors; Bissonnette / Koci - game misconducts) -- according to announcer, 3 fights in a game amounts to game misconduct -- which would evict Koci and Konopka from the game (both having 3 fights tonight)

- END of Period 2 (9:04 PM) -- game still tied at 2 (Ouellet scores the only goal in the 2nd); 1:50 left in TB powerplay
- it's again mentioned what an amazing game Curry is having -- VERY impressive
- 1:00 minute left in the 2nd
- Lightning penalty up; 3:35 powerplay for the Bolts
- PENGUINS penalty - boarding, Fedotenko - 5 minute major (4 on 4); Lightning will have little less than 3:30 minutes left in the powerplay after Penguins PP is up
- LIGHTNING penalty @ 16:23 - interference, Malone (Penguins PP)
- this commentator is against fighting -- how ANNOYING, the old geezer!! As you can guess, I believe fighting is a part of hockey and should not be eliminated from the game; if we do that, we might as well go as far as being polite too, "Would you like the puck?" "Why yes, that would be lovely, thank you!" "I'm sorry I just smashed you up against the boards earlier" "That's quite alright, it's just a game, pal!" PUKE!!
- FIGHT RIGHT OFF OF THE FACE-OFF: Bissonnette vs. Koci
- 5:35 left in the 2nd
- Curry is having an impressive debut so far!! He's stopped everything TB has shot (I lost track but I think it's been 3 SOG so far)

- [GOALIE CHANGE-Pittsburgh] Curry in for Sabourin
- Sabourin ROBBED STAMKOS with a nice save!!
- Penguins penalty - hooking, Engelland (Lightning PP) - no goals scored
- both commentators commenting how good the game is for the 2nd pre-season game; one mentions the first one was good as well (I have to agree -- the Pens are looking good from what I saw at last Saturday's game)

- END of Period 1
- FIGHT - Konopka vs. Richmond (Gill mouthing off to Konopka skating back to the bench; Richmond came off the bench and just started up with Konopka); fighting major penalties to both; TB commentator feels Richmond should get an instigating penalty - NO DICE!!

Check in with me throughout the night for LIVE game updates of the Penguins 2nd pre-season game (I'm going to try it and see how it goes); I'll probably cover the basic highlights because I can see myself not keeping up!

Thanks for that re-cap. The player on wdae went belly up on me in the 3rd period, had no idea what was going on.
I been reading your blog for the last week and have it on my iGoogle home page.
To borrow a word from a friend,
Holy Awesomeness!!
Nice work.
