SLAP SHOTS

     Scratch my back with a hacksaw, it's a great day for hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins take their show on the road tonight when they faceoff against the Carolina Hurricanes. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens are clinging to the 2nd Wild Card playoff spot at 27-19-7 good for 61 points. The 'Canes are not far behind at 24-21-9 and 57 points. It's that time of year where everyone is jostling for a playoff spot. Every point counts. Nothing could be fina than a win over Carolina! 2)With a chance to gain some ground on the Rangers, the Pens laid a big egg on Wednesday night, getting shutout by New York 3-0. Got to find the net and find the win column. Fire up the Goals, Goals, Goals! 3)The Pens are fairly mediocre on the road with a record of 11-11-3. If you want to get to the playoffs, you've got to find a way to win on the road. Blow away the Hurricanes. Let's Go Pens!!!
