SLAP SHOTS

     Scratch my back with a hacksaw, it's a great day for hockey! Your Pittsburgh Penguins continue their homestand at Consol Energy Center as they faceoff against the Boston Bruins this afternoon. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pens have big back-to-back games this weekend. The Bruins are a hungry team battling for their playoff lives. Boston is coming off a 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay on Thursday. The Pens also won on Thursday, defeating Edmonton 6-4. Problem is the Oilers staked the Pens to a 4-0 lead in that game and the Pens almost let it slip away. The Pens and the fans need to treat this game like a playoff game and get geared up on all cylinders. Batter the Bruins with Goals, Goals, Goals, baby! 2)Both teams are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Boston has won 4 straight. #5 would not be great! 3)It would be nice to see the Pens (finally) get their revenge on Boston for their sweep from the playoffs back in 2013. Mrs. Black-N-Gold hopes to see Boston's Vezina-winning G Tuuka Rask go head-to-head with the Pens Vezina hopeful Marc-Andre Fleury. Flower Power! Let's Go Pens!!!
