SLAP SHOTS

     Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Buy Sam and drink and get his dog one, too 'cause it's a great day for playoff hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins return to the home ice of Consol Energy Center tonight to faceoff against the Tampa Bay Lightning for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)This series is now tied at 2 games each following Friday's 4-3 loss. The Pens came back from a 4-0 deficit but fell short of their intended goal. The first 2 periods of play were flat and sloppy. Be 60 minute men! 2)Rookie G Matt Murray was replaced in the 3rd period by Marc-Andre Fleury. The Flower did not allow a goal on 7 Tampa Bay shots. No matter who is between the pipes tonight, they have to stand and deliver. Ride the Lightning! 3)There will be a special guest in the house tonight. In honor of the famed HBK Line (Hagelin-Bonino-Kessel), the original HBK, former pro wrestler, Shawn Michaels, will be amongst Black-N-Gold Nation this evening. Hit the sweet chin music to the tune of Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
