LIGHTNING vs PENGUINS









The Ex-Pens of Tampa will face-off against the black-and-gold tonight at 7:30 at the Igloo.

Good news for the Pens: the only thing worse than the Bolts right now is the U.S. job market. The Lightning have not won since December 11 and have won just one game in their last 10 contests.

Other than MyCousinVinny and St.LoueyLouey (both have 12G and 15A) no other TB player has more than 20 points. As far as former Guins who will play tonight, Rex has 18 points (7G 11A) Bugsy has 13 points (7G 6A) and Hall has 4 points (3G 1A).




If history repeats itself, the Pens should have the upper hand in tonight's match-up. The Guins took three of four games against T.B. last season outscoring them 10-6. However, the Pens have yet to win both games when they play on back-to-back nights (they're 4-4).

Hal TheThrill Gill will ba back in the lineup for Mikey T tonight after being out of the lineup since December 7 with another undisclosed Pens injury. The rumors through the tree also told Donnie that Ryan Whitney is to return to NHL action tonight. He has yet to play this season but he is not listed in Mikey T's lineup...yet.

Donnie thinks Sid will continue his scoring after breaking his 9-game slump last night. Look for him to be extra-energized against the team that cut his season short last year and against his former linemates Rex and Bugsy. Check back after the game to see if Donnie knows what he's talking about.

Mikey T’s Lineup:
FORWARDS:
Dupuis-Crosby-Satan
Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora
Talbot-Staal-Cooke
Wallace-Talbot-Godard
DEFENSE:
Orpik-Letang
Suderi-Goligoski
Boucher-Gill
GOAL:
Sabourin
