SLAP SHOTS

     Scratch my back with a hacksaw, it's a playoff hockey night in Pittsburgh! Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Your Pittsburgh Penguins look to get back in the win column and even their series against the New York Strangers tonight at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens started off Monday's 2-1 loss on the wrong foot, not registering a single shot on goal through the first period. Mrs. Black-N-Gold doesn't claim to be a hockey expert. However, didn't these players learn in junior hockey that you don't score goals without shooting the puck? What the puck, Pens, shoot it. Fire up the Goals, Goals, Goals, baby! 2)Many pundits said following Monday's loss that it was a shame the Pens didn't play the entire game like they did the final period. You've got to play all 60 minutes! 3)The Pens have to even this series up. You don't want to give them a 3-1 lead and take it back to MSG. You gotta want it, to win it! Let's Go Pens!!!
