SLAP SHOTS

     Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Great balls of fire, it's a great day for playoff hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins continue their 2nd round series tonight with the Capitals in DC. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Thursday night's Game 1 loss, 4-3 in OT, could have gone either way. The Pens played good enough to win, but bad enough to lose. They need to steal a win in Washington to even the series. Don't let the Caps dictate play. Play your game. Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)The Pens led the 1st game in shots, 45-35. But Caps G Braden Holtby, a Vezina Trophy finalist, turned away 42 shots from the Black-N-Gold. Keep on Holtby's case and in his face. Hit him with Goals, Goals, Goals! 3)Caps F TJ Oshie may be an Olympic hero but he has become a pest to the Pens, especially following Thursday's hat trick that included the game winner. Be mindful of Ovie and Oshie. Keep them out of the net and off the scoresheet. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD! Let's Go Pens!!!
