SLAP SHOTS

     Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Hop in the Cordoba, baby, we're going bowling; it's a great day for hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins take their 3-1 series lead to DC tonight to finish off.....oops, make that faceoff against the Washington Capitals. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Pardon Mrs. Black-N-Gold for putting the cart before the horse but she's sick of the Capitals and they're whining. Wouldn't it be a cherry on top our Black-N-Gold Sundae to go down to DC and eliminate the crybaby Capitals in front of their own fans? Take the crowd and the Caps out of the game as quickly as possible. Score early, score often, score BIG Goals, Goals, Goals! 2)The Pens held the vaunted Capitals power play in check in Wednesday night's 3-2 win. The Caps were 0 for 4 with the man-advantage. Now, of course, this can't last forever. And the best way to keep the Caps from scoring on the power play is to stay the heck out of the penalty box. That's not likely to happen either. Kill 'em all! 3)Mrs. Black-N-Gold just loves how the Pens have battled their way through this series, especially considering all the adversity they've faced. What better way to reward themselves then to end this series tonight and get an extended break until the next series? You've got them on the ropes. Stay on their case and in their face. Keep on PUCKN! Let's Go Pens!!!!
