Did you drink last night cause you look alittle hungover...

Pittsburgh 4 - Ottawa 3

When it comes to stanley cup runner-up hang overs from the past 20 years, it's worse than a morning after drinking Cheap Whiskey and Mad Dog Cocktails. So here we are, facing history square in the eyes and trying to give them a big FU. We got the W, put two tallies in the points column. So here let's take a look at the pros and cons i saw from todays game...

Pros
  • Tyler "F'ing" Kennedy.... he looks like he got some lessons from Janne this offseason. Anyways he really stepped up and showed that he is not planning on suffering from the Staal Sophmore Slump.
  • Penalty Kill, we gave up one goal on the penalty but we also killed alot of key plays
  • Satan, although he didn't get a mark he looked like he was all over the place
  • Malkin, we could be the home of the points race this year...
Cons
  • Our power play looked flatter than a middle school cheerleader. Wow, that was completly horrid. Honestly, not only did we not get a goal, but there were several powerplays that looked like we were not even at a man advantage...
  • Toughness? We looked like a bunch of pussies getting pushed around out there
  • Bisonette... I really could not believe that he is actually considered NHL caliber by anybody. Now this isn't a let's get Janne back point, but seriously, this guy looked absolutly terrible. He was either completly out of position or he looked like he was a dog chasing his tail out there. I smell a one way ticket in his future...
  • Taffe... yeah he fell quite far from being that 1st round pick...
Eh's
  • Fluery, does'nt look like he's stepping up and taking his plcae in the top tier of goal tenders
  • Staal, i have high hopes for you Jordan... But that doesn't say much, the last guy I had high hopes for just got cut...

So yeah, it's weird getting back in the hockey mindset, I'm currently in the Football mindset where every game really matters (yeah i know every game matters, but not like football), so pardon me if i come off as a little extreme
. Ok well we hope to get more news on Jannes trip to Wilkes Barre and i'll be around tomorrow. I'll post a stream for those out of market people, and i'll give my thoughts durring and after the game though.

Stay Strong Pesonatoin...
