With all the Crosby **** over All Star Weekend and then a semi-impromptu Crosby press conference with the Canadian media in town, the Pens fan base wanted nothing more than for the team to get back to playing some hockey. And so they did. And it didn't look good at all. The game didn't even feel close, and the Pens (and especially Fleury) were doing just enough to keep Toronto in their sights.
Then 6 minutes into the third, the Leafs scored 2 goals in 19 seconds to make it 4-1.
Things were bad. Steigerwald and Errey were already talking about how Kessel "had to pay" for something. Then 2 minutes after the Leafs went up 4-1, some Leaf made a bizarre mistake and Sullivan had a highway down the right wing. He decided to blast one past the Monster to make it 4-2. The crowd was back into it. There was still unlimited time left.

Johnson's long wait likely to end tonight
At least one thing did not change over the NHL's All-Star break: Goalie Brent Johnson was in his usual position at the end of the Penguins bench Tuesday when their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs began at Consol Energy Center.

Malkin, Penguins storm back to knock off Leafs
After tying the game with a goal in the third period, Evgeni Malkin won it in a shootout, giving the Penguins their eighth straight win.
No miracles left in bag
The Penguins have been living on the edge lately. A lot. Just about every time they reported for work, really. And when a team spends enough time on the edge -- as the Penguins had done by going to overtime or a shootout in five of their previous six games -- it eventually falls off. Like the Penguins did in a 1-0 loss to Toronto Wednesday night at the Air Canada Centre.
