With a rocky start a fruitless power play and a few turnovers the Penguins started the series against the Portland Pirates at the Wachovia Arena tonight. It was a battle from the start both teams looking for the first win in the series.
The Penguins and the Pirates headed for the dressing room after a period of play 0-0. Not that both teams didn't have their chances it was just that they couldn't find the handle or the puck just would bounce their way.
Again with the second period, the Penguins just couldn't get the puck in the net. They had lots of chances but just couldn't seem to do it. The Pirates also had a number of great chances as they missed the open net. Curry and Aubin, they both had a great game Curry stopped every shot that headed his way Aubin, well he stopped nearly every shot.
Well folks it is on to game 2 tomorrow night and hopefully another great win for our WBS Penguins. See you at the game.
