Gary Roberts wins Pens another game...


playing for Tampa Bay. Seriously. Chasing the Lightning 3-2 with @ 5 minutes to play, Matt Cooke goaded Gary Roberts by chirping in his ear as they were both at the end of their shifts. What would Gary Roberts do? Slug Cooke and take a stupid roughing penalty, giving the Pens and Petr Sykora the game tying goal on the Power Play. hehe.

Roberts after the game:
"You've got to realize who it is but so should the referee realize who it is," Roberts said. "He's obviously famous for diving, and he never really played with any honor. … He's out there with a visor, chirping it up without any intention of dropping the gloves. I've got no respect for a guy like that."
I do agree about the visor part, but VERY dumb on Scary Gary's part. I'll take it :)

Ned Braden, a college graduate, was seen after the game:
"It was a garbage goal. It was a garbage win."
hehe.

In other Pens / Lightning news....

Geno Machino has taken over as the team's leader. Sid has passed, again.

And Mark Recchi still blows.

Dinosaurs like Roberts have no business talking.
