Alright, This is a must win, the Pens are down but not out, they have looked decent the first two games, but have nothing to show for it. I’m not hearing anything positive from the fans, but my plan is to see one of the greatest comebacks in Penguin history and to have it start with tonights game.
The Penguins have been through this before, not 5 years ago, but a little over 3 weeks ago. Down 2 games to none do or die situation, fans were down, but Penguin coach Dan Bylsma rallied the troops and the Penguins went on to win three games in a row. The Penguins play great when their backs are against the wall.
Last time around when the Penguins were down two games against Washington I made a list of things I think they needed to do to win the series. So here is another list:
One of the best parts of last game was the Evgeni Malkin fight at the end of the game. This is a huge step in the character building of this young Russian superstar.
The Detroit fans are all up in arms about Max Talbot poking at the loose puck that he put in the net at the end of the game calling it a “spearing”. He hit the loose puck, it went in the net, the Ref must have lost sight of the loose puck and blew the whistle. End of story.
I watched the supposed slash the announcers were barking about that Marian WHOosa did. Unless it happened before the clip I watched 5 times, it didn’t happen. It’s almost like the announcers see a broken stick and just assume it was a slash. I did see the puck go out of the zone about 10 seconds before that though, and that wasn’t called.
The Penguins will be getting the final line changes tonight and that will be the clincher.
How about we rock the Igloo tonight and show the team we believe in them! GO PENS!
Game time is 8PM and can be seen in high definition at the Igloo or Versus.
