Revenge...

On Tuesday we will be returning to the sight of one of the greatest playoff hockey games I have ever watched...

The other big thing is that we will finally be getting a shot at Hossa... Although I am sure the Pens nation will attacking Sister Marian, I myself will not be degraded to that level. He made a decision that he felt was best for him, and honestly, it will most likely pay off (either with a Stanley cup or he'll at least get an even bigger payday in FA next year).... I would have loved to keep him, and I was sad that he left, but you cannot blame him for his decision... He wants to eventually be a #1 somewhere, he wants to be the show... By taking a 1 year deal, he will play one year get a big long contract, eventually be the talk of a town and sportin a C... That would have never happened if he stayed here...

Anyways, i'm not going to read into this game too much... I'm not going to tout it as the definitive measure of who is going to end up on top this year... But I am hoping it will be a good game...

From the Penguins perspective.... It has seemed like every few games the pens get on the brink of breaking wide open and living up to their potential, and I think playing a team like the redwings might be the catalyst we need. If Malkin can get back into rythem and our first line can do what it did against the oilers, and now with Staal hopefully back in the loop, and Pigman and Big Daddy Zigomannis looking good we could be on the brink of dominance here...

We have had trouble with big western conference teams this year and I'm hoping they don't make us look like little girls like the sharks did...
