PENGUINS vs. THRASHERS








The Guins are in Hotlanta tonight to meet some old friends. Puck drops at 7.

The biggest story of tonight's match-up: the Flower makes his return between the pipes for Mikey T after missing a few weeks with a leg injury. Hopefully Flower's return will have the Pens looking more like a hockey team instead of the brain-dead retards they resembled last Saturday against the Philly Trashbags. The Guins could use a decent game in net after Sabu has surrendered three goals or more in his last four starts (all losses).

Another new face in tonight's lineup will be WBS forward Ryan Stone who has been called-up along side Jeff Taffe and Tim Wallace to fill in for the injured MadMax, TKO and Ziggy. Confirming Mikey T's hatred for Nanana.

The Guins will face off against former teammates Colby Armstrong and Erik Christensen for the second time this year. ATL lost the first meeting 3-2 at home.

Keep your eye on Army as he is coming of a two-goal game Tuesday night against Ottawa and is now wearing the "A" for the Thrashers. Hopefully Sid and the kids will impress in front of their former mates.

The black-and-gold will also need to step it up against ATLs bignames scorers like Ilya
Kovalchuk who always seem to get under the Pens' skin. He'll enter the game with 31 points (17 G, 24A) in 24 games against the Pens. Not bad for a D-bag.

Check back with Donnie after the game for a full recap.
