Pens vs. Sens

Tomorrow the Penguins will be playing the Senators the first time since playing them in the poor mans Finland (aka Sweden). Anyways according to the Pens website, Pesonen is expected to play on the 4th line, which Minard will be on the 3rd line. I am hoping that Janne will get a little more time out there, he defiantly made some good oportunities last game and it's only a matter of time before he buries it... Go Pens and Go Janne

Pens 2 Sens 3/ WBS 7 Albany3

Jeff Taffe leads Wbs to a 7-3 victory over Albany. Taffe had 2/g 2/a= 4 pts.
Jean-Michel Daoust also had 2/g 2/a. Adam Berkhoel made 25 saves in the wins

1st Period:

Sabu is in goal.

First 5 mins are pretty uneventful, no shots for the Pens..

Jannne's first shift of the game and has to take a faceoff..Janne was on for about 30 secs.

Nice save on Afie by Sabu..

8:00 mark... Sens are taking the play to the Pens and Sabu has been tough.

1:46 left in the first still not alot of action from the Pens.

Two good reason to have a party today: Finland's Independence Day and Penguins game. Go Finland, Go Pens, Go Pessi.

I watched the game live from internet - Crosby and Malkin were very good, Pessi played also well during his couple of minutes. Unfortunately Pens lost the game :(

I had a stream that kept getting delayed so I had to listen to Mikey Lange. He gave props to whatever line Janne was on at the end of the game... I think Talbot was on that line at the time. I think that Janne could make things happen with Superstar... I dunno.. what do you guys think..

Skoz, I have that belief too, but will he have that chance? Knowing MT he will give him a one shift chance. I'm guessing if they leave him up during the Pigman injury duration he will have the time to come accustom to his surroundings. With the Pens eing on the road when Minard and Pessi were called up I'm not sure what kind of quality practices they get.Esp with 3 games in 4 night/afternoon.
