CANADIENS vs PENGUINS









The Guins welcome the Habs to the Igloo tonight for the two teams first meeting of the season. Puck drops at 7.

The Pens are hoping to rebound from some poor play last night in a close 1-0 game in which they won in New Jersey. For the Burgh's sake, hopefully Flower looks as dominant tonight as he looked last night. The way the Guins have been scoring, they will need all the help they can get.

For the sixth time this season Mikey T's squad will play on back-to-back nights. The Guins have yet to win both games in such situations this year. More importantly, the Pens have not won two games in a row since November 13 and 15 when they put up 5 goals againt Philthy and 5 against Buffalo.

Look for the Habs to try and prove their players deserve to start in the All-Star game over Sid, Geno and Flower. They don't but the fans in French-Canadia are a little slow. It's not their fault, they're just too busy speaking french, drinking Molson and putting maple syrup on their ham.

Donnie says it should be a good game. That's all he's got.

Mikey T's Lineup:
FORWARDS:
Dupuis-Crosby-Satan
Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora
Talbot-Staal-Cooke
Bissonnette-Jeffrey-Godard

DEFENSE:
Orpik-Scuderi
Boucher-Goligoski
Whitney-Eaton

GOAL:
Fluery

Actually I thought the Pens look the best they have all month. MAF still can't get over the soft goals. I'm starting to worry about this team, we need to win at least one game with Boston.
