SLAP SHOTS

     Call Arnold Slick from Turtle Crick; it's a hockey night in Pittsburgh! Our Pittsburgh Penguins return home to the friendly confines of PPG Paints Arena tonight to faceoff against the Columbus Blue Jagoffs in their 1st round playoff series. The Pens are up 3-1 and can close out Columbus tonight. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)After allowing just 2 goals in the 1st 2 games, and following Tuesday night's 5-4 loss, the Pens are given up 9 goals to the Blue Jagoffs in the last 2 games. Gotta tighten up, boys. De-Fense! 2)Nothing wrong with the offense, though. They've scored 9 goals in the last 2 games. Crank up the Crue and the Goals, Goals, Goals! 3)What a joy it would be to end the Blue Jagoffs season tonight and get ready for round 2. The Pens have allowed Columbus to take early control of the games and have had to claw their way back into it. Go for the quick kill tonight. The Pens had the best home record in the NHL so Mrs. Black-N-Gold wants to hear that crowd be loud. Show no mercy to the Jagoffs. Get in Bob's face and on his case. Score early, score often, score BIG! Let's Go Pens!!!!
