Taking Flight Part II

Wow!!! As if the drama could get no higher than Sid the Kid and MAF stunning the Big O in a shootout thriller, the arctic pigeons amp it up a few more pegs by besting the playoff hungry Panthers in another shootout. This is almost too much for the old ticker to take.
all smiles these days

With eight out of the next nine games in the Igloo, the Pens are the pesky front desk men serving waking up calls throughout the overbooked hotel we call the Eastern Conference playoff race. Just how far does this thing go??? MP says five seed, A Dawg says four,...stay tuned for the newest sports drama in the 'Burgh.

Crappy loss vs. Blue Jackets and Senators.

I'm not a fan of shootouts.

Great win vs. Bruins!!!

Need to be able to keep leads and the PP needs to pick it up a bit.

Ray Shero...talk about going from a zero to hero in a few weeks.

Croby's new line is clicking - Kunitz and Guerin look good.

What a game last night!!! Geno was rolling (5 pts - missing his 6th when he couldn't convert a penalty shot with ~3 minutes left)!!! Eaton and Gonch on a 2 on 1 with Eaton slamming home the saucer pass from Sarge (started by a lead pass from 71).

After falling behind 30 seconds into the tilt - the Pens took over and dominated. They were flying around hitting everything that moves. It is nice to see the Pens play this aggressive style after seeing some pathetic displays earlier in the year.

Last nights game was my 6th of the season and I am happy to report that I am 6-0 this year (someone buy me season tickets).

No one, and I repeat, NO ONE wants to play the Pens in the first round!!!

BTW - all this and I didn't even mention how great Sid and his merry band of linemates have been playing. I love this time of year!!
