Well the last game of 2008 will prove to be a huge test for the Pens. The Bruins are coming into town holding down the top spot in the East, playing a shut down system that could frustrate the Pens.
The Guins looked solid in their last game against the Habs, even though we came up short. The Pens outshot the Canadians and pretty much dominated all game, besides some homo getting his first career hat trick and single-handedly beating the pens. Sid got some shots on net and Mr. Dupuis proved yet again that he is the luckiest man in the world with an absolute fluke goal. I'm not complaining though, I just wish I had some of his luck.
Biznasty was sent back down to WBS. Big surprise. Are there any other 3rd or 4th line AHL guys we can bring up while Minard and Nanana continue to dominate??
If the Penguins continue to play their grinding system, the bruins will no doubt control tonights game and probably walk away with a 2-0 win. Hopefully this isn't the case and Mikey T gets his mind straight and makes a few changes. We need to open it up and get pucks on net... So this brigns us to..
Donnie's Keys to Victory
1) Now I don't wanna sound like a Steelers fan at a Pens game, but we have to get the puck on net. Do you see what happened when dupuis atleast put a shot in the direction of the net. Deflections happen. Generate some offense.
2) The 3rd and 4th lines need to produce. Lately I have begun to think that the only chance we have of scoring is when Geno is on the ice. It makes for frustrating hockey. Our 3rd lines has been in the biggest slump and it needs to stop.
3) MAF and the D to shut down a persistant Bruins attack. In Flower we trust.
4) Just win the game and end the new year right.
GO PENS
