Pens beat Islanders in shootout.

The Pens made for an exciting game this past Saturday when they defeated the Islanders in a 4-3 shootout victory. Sabourin was in net for the Penguins and came up big with some great saves, including the save on the Islander's third shooter in the shootout. It was clear that there was no puck in the net, but where could it be? Sabourin reaches into his pads and throws out a puck and immediately raises his hand as if he were saying, "I didn't do it, I got it." The Penguins immediately started celebrating because Sabourin had made stops on all 3 shooters and Sykora had already scored for the Pens. However, the save would come under review to see if Sabiourin's pad had come over the goal line and if you could see where the puck was positioned and if it crossed! Finally it was ruled not to be a goal. It was indecisive where the goal was and there was no evidence to supprt a goal and the Pens win.
Like my sister said, "It's like the end of the Mighty Ducks movie."
