SLAP SHOTS

     Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Our Pittsburgh Penguins begin defense of the Stanley Cup tonight when the banner is raised and the puck is dropped at the newly-christened PPG Paints Arena versus the Washington Capitals. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens are without Stanley Cup winning G Matt Murray and Conn Smythe winning C Sidney Crosby. Take a Steelers-like approach tonight. Next man up! 2)Remember the exciting series the Pens had with the Capitals in the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring? Mrs. Black-N-Gold is sure the Caps do, too. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)How long has it been since we cranked up the Motley Crue, too? Goals, Goals, Goals, baby! Let's Go Pens!!!!
