SLAP SHOTS

Call Arnold Slick from Turtle Creek. It's a great day for hockey! Your Pittsburgh Penguins close out their road trip tonight in the nation's capital as they faceoff against the Washington Craps. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Despite their shoddy play of late, the Pens continue to lead the NHL in power play, at a 25.5% clip. The Craps are certainly crappy on the penalty kill, ranking 23rd overall at 80.3%. Take advantage of the man-advantage! 2)Craps C Alex Ovechkin leads the NHL with 44 goals. Meanwhile, Pens C Sidney Crosby continues to lead the league with 84 points. Let's see, Sid won the gold in the Olympics for the 2nd time in a row, while Ovechkin laid an egg in front of his countrymen. Slap me silly, Sidney! 3)The Pens are coming off a 3-2 shootout victory over the Ducks on Saturday night. The Craps also won on Saturday, defeating the Coyotes 3-2. Both teams go for 2 in a row. Break out the Motley Crue and the Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
