[SBN Senators blog - Silver Seven Sens]
I've yet to see a positive update on Tyler Kennedy's status, outside of the already mentioned status of "day-to-day," so I'm comfortable assuming that Ruslan Fedotenko may get some ice time tonight if TK is a no go. Hopefully as we edge closer to the puck drop we'll get a little more information in that regard. For the time being, you may want to tread carefully on picking them for the Pensburgh Pick 'Em contest.
Speaking of, let's get that out of the way now:
Format: Winning team name - Score - First Pens goal scorer's last name
Give me the first Penguins goal scorer
Give me the final score (include which team will win)
Example: Penguins - 7-2 - Lemieux
The Pens know what they have to do tonight. It's not rocket science. Ottawa is playing for their playoff lives and you have to assume they will not go down without a fight. Whether they choose to fight that battle with red lights or fists is up to them, but I'm sure Pittsburgh will come prepared for anything. A solid game on both sides of the puck will put the nail in the coffin for the Sens and allow the Penguins a few days to heal up from the wounds.
That's all I have this early in the morning.
More to come I suppose throughout the day with regards to injuries and lineups.

Yeah, from the above post:
Give me the first Penguins goal scorer
Give me the final score (include which team will win)
If I included first Sens scorer that wouldn’t be very Penguin-centric of me/us.

Penguins / 4-3 / Sarge
Or I could just pick Crosby because he has about an 80% chance of always being the pens first goal scorer. I think you should change the game to pick the first scorer not named Crosby or Malkin.
That’s a good suggestion, though you’re killing Frank, making him search for “Sarge” if Gonchar happens to score the first goal ;-)

Penguins 5-2 Letang
First round jittters are shaking off. You can expect to see his shots finding the back of the net.
we got crosby eaton cookie now!
from what I’ve heard, practice is a completely different story. After he signed his new contract I saw a difference in his game play. I’ve got faith in my team and all the players on the squad.

I have faith too, that doesnt mean he will start hitting the net. He missed it 3 more times last game

the tilt doesn’t change, it’s relative position to the Sun does as it revolves.
Is this a hockey blog? I’m such a nerd.
The tilt is what produces the seasons.

And it’s relevant because without Canadian winter, there’d be no NHL. Or playoff hockey.

Read it closer, yes the Tilt is the reason for the seasons on different parts of the earth, but without the revolution, the seasons wouldn’t change throughout the year.
The tilt doesn’t change, it’s fixed.
From your link:
“As we move around the Sun during the year, the amount of light each area of the planet receives varies in length”
Whatever. The relevant point is that Max Talbot causes the seasons. And in particular, the heat.

Yeah, with all 4 series in the East sitting at 3-1, it does make me wonder if we’ll see 1 of those teams make the big comeback, but when I look at each series I just can’t see any of them doing it.

I watched 90% of the Bost./Buff. game and I thought that Buffalo was the better team. Rask bailed them out. Still counts as a win though.
Are they a “better enough” to win 3 straight?

Yeah, I think it will be close. The Bruins don’t score much, but they do score when they have to, and they may get Savard back still.
The Pens can score, but the Bruins have the goaltending and defense to stop them.
It should be fun.

I feel for Boston fans, and I have nothing but good wishes for Savard. It sucks to see ANY player injured … even if they’re on a team that I hate (which is not the Bruins)….
but you can’t possibly want Savard fighting Cooke!!
I guess maybe if you’re looking for the Talbot vs. Carcillo “get your ass kicked but motivate your team” moment … but still.
Yeah… Juts hoping.

If Crosby came back and lit up the Bruins for three goals or maybe sank home the final nail in a series clinching game, that would be the payback.

Yesterday I played this game out in NHL 08 (yeah, that’s right, I’m still playing NHL 08 on a PS2. Big whoop; wanna fight about it?) and I promised myself that whatever the result of the game was, that would be my prediction for today’s game. I expected to win, and, well, I did. Mind you, the margin of victory was a bit different than what I was expecting, but a promise is a promise. So, without further ado, my prediction is:
Penguins – 17-1 – Crosby
According to my experience, Sid will score first on his way to a hat trick; J-Staal will also net a hatty. Cookie Monster will get two, and Malkin, Eaton, Kunitz (PP,) Guerin, Dupuis, Talbot (SH,) Poni, Orpik, and McKee will pot one each.
That’s my prediction and I’m sticking to it.
Why are there so many ostriches?
wow.
Cookie Monster? Is that your name for him? Yikes.
With the Pens, I would not be surprised from this score.

Does anyone really think that the Pens won’t seal it up tonight?
I’d rather see Godard in there than Feds to be honest, especially if things get hairy and Ottawa continues to play like the classy bunch they are.
"Half the game is mental, the other half is being mental." - Jim McKenny
keep in mind that the Penguins didn’t seal the deal very well last year.
They let both the Flyers and the Capitals hang around.
Okay, they shut down the hapless Hurricanes … but their record in first opportunity casket matches is not particularly good.
True, but I think they’ve got this one. They have dominated the last three by increasing margins. The Sens were totally overmatched in Game 4. My only concern is that the Pens will get too cocky and try to phone in Game 5; if they maintain Game 4’s intensity, then it’s in the bag.

Well they definitely lost a few in the third during the regular season, but off the top of my head I have no idea what their record is.

Penguins 7-3 Crosby
"You want to start being part of the Rink? Fine, but more’s expected of you than John/Jane Cap Fan.

They’re passionate about their teams too, no need to troll elsewhere and/or be a sore winner." --BP
Lots of crowing going on here, I guess it’s to be expected since the Pens won “easily” last game. I will say that I can’t tell for the life of me which team is worse at defense, or which team has worse goaltending. We haven’t really seen a strong game(s) from Fleury in weeks/months? When it was 4-0 and not even halfway through the game, I started thinking about how long it would take for the Sens to tie the game up. Thank god that LeClaire was just as bad as Elliot. If he plays well, the pens LOSE that game. Hell, they may have lost had that pane of glass not broken. I don’t think any of these wins have been as easy as the 3-1 series lead would indicate, so I think it’s going to go back to Ottawa and possibly a game 7. You never know.
yeah that broken glass did kill some momentum for a bit. I even said so at the time. I may have even said, “Thank God.” Free timeout.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
I feel like something similar happened to the Pens during Game 1 … but I could be remembering a late-in-the-regular-season game, too. Doesn’t matter, I suppose. The refs are obviously siding with the Pens. The league, after all, wants a Pens-Caps conference final (which is also why NJ will lose in Round 1), and the only way to ensure that is to make sure the glass is a little loose in the Pens’ end.
Leafs fan living large in the Pitt and pretending like the drought is over. Go Pens!
I think our defense has really improved for since this series started and a lot of the goals given up by Fleury, except for game one, have just been really good goals or ones you can’t really do much about. Or else there were some laps in defense, like the mis-communication between Letang and Orpik last game, but that is going to happen every game.
LeClaire is getting the start tonight, but overall the Pens have been playing much better than the Sens, who are letting their emotions get the best of them.
