If anything, SJ crushed the hopes of thousands of fans packed dawntawn.

Jones was huge--but he has been that way all season. The Pens took a lot of shots but at this level any shot from 20-30 feet with no screen or deflection will be stopped every time--both goals were deflections. The shot count is a little misleading in this case, but there were about ten really dangerous shots that he took care of. Hell, I'm just happy to be watching hockey in the middle of June. So, now we know the Pens can win in SJ and Sharks in Pitt.
