SLAP SHOTS

Technically, it's a hockey day in Pittsburgh. No matter how you slice it, your Pittsburgh Penguins faceoff this afternoon against the Jersey Boys at Consol (Lackoff) Energy Center. These are your keys to today's game. 1)Wednesday night, against NY, the Pens killed all 4 power plays. In Jersey's last game, a loss to the Isles, they gave up 3 of 4 power play goals. Sounds like the shot in the arm our special teams needs. Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)There's no place like home? Every other team in the NHL has at least one point on their home ice. The Pens are still looking to get off the schneid at home. How about wearing the road gear for home games? 3)Marc Andre Fleury is getting the start in net today. He is 5-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA in his past 6 home games versus New Jersey. Let the Flower bloom! Time to go out their and beat old man Brodeau like a rented mule. Remember: Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
