SLAP SHOTS

     Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Lookout Loretta, it's a great day for playoff hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins return to their home ice at Consol Energy Center this afternoon to faceoff against the New York Rangers, up 3 games to 1 in this first-round series. It's a good day to finish the Rangers. These are your keys for today game. 1)Congrats to Pens rookie G Matt Murray. It's been a big week for Murray. He recorded his 1st NHL playoff victory and his 1st NHL playoff shutout all in the same week. He held NY scoreless in Thursday night's 5-0 win. Love the goose egg! 2)The Pens are the #1 scoring team during these NHL playoffs with a 3.75 goals per game average. It's all about the Goals, Goals, Goals! 3)The Pens special teams have been extra-special, too. The power play is ranked 2nd, going 7 for 19. The penalty kill has allowed the Rangers just 1 goal with the man-advantage in 16 tries. Special orders don't upset us! Let's Go Pens!!!
