SLAP SHOTS

     Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Get in the fast lane, Grandma, the bingo game is ready to roll; it's a great day for playoff hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins continue their 2nd round playoff series with the Washington Capitals tonight at Consol Energy Center. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens took a 2 games to 1 lead in this series with Monday's 3-2 victory. Rookie G Matt Murray was phenomenal, stopping 47 out of 49 shots. Murray is a Monster! 2)Good thing the rook had such a good game because the rest of the team seemed like they were sinking in quick sand with sloppy play all the way around. They were lucky to get the W on Monday but if they continue to perform this poorly, they may not be so lucky again. And they'll have to do so without suspended D Kris Letang. It's time for everyone to step up and shut 'em down! 3)The power play has been powerless, going 0 for 10 in this series. Opponents won't mind committing penalties as much against a power play with no power. Power up that power play with Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!
