SLAP SHOTS

    Happy Pucks & Bucs Day! Great balls of fire; it's a great day for hockey! Our Pittsburgh Penguins continue their 2nd round series vs the Washington Capitals tonight. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pens got off to a hot start, scoring 1st in Game 1 and taking the lift-lidder in this series on Thursday with a 3-2 win. C Sidney Crosby slapped the Caps silly with the 1st 2 goals in rapid succession and C Nick Bonino closed it out with the game-winner. This was an important win for the Pens because they got off to slow starts in the Columbus series and have not played well on the road overall this season. Gimme a W! 2)G Marc-Andre Fleury played out of his mind on Thursday, looking very Matrix-like in the victory. MAF has also not been his best away from PPG Paints Arena. MAF is a bad MF! 3)The Pens need to keep the hot hand early and take the Caps crowd out of the game as quickly as possible. Rock the Goals, Goals, Goals! Let's Go Pens!!!!
