Game Recap
It is on folks—ready for a rematch from last season. The Penguins are like a bunch of hungry lions ready to attack a wounded zebra in the wild. In their series with the Ottawa Senators, the secret weapon, as I like to call him, is Evgeni Malkin.

Malkin is ready to shut out the lights. Probably the most confident player in the league, I have seen this guy work magic ever since Crosby went down.

Last year in the playoffs he was like a deer in the headlights. The difference now—this guy is a horse with blinders on to the net, looking to make a mockery of Ottawa's defunct goaltending.

Can Gerber step up? For the sake of his career I hope so.

Will Emery see some ice time? Probably not.

I promised I would not mention Sid the Kid in this, but he is hungry, people. As a competitor he is ready for a rematch.  Everybody says “Fleury is not ready” is the story of the poor kid's life.

Last year I think Fluery played well in the playoffs. This is the best I have seen Marc play.

With Ty on the bench, Pittsburgh might have the best two-way combo in goal for these playoffs.  If these young Pens win their first series as a group this could turn out to be a full on onslaught in the playoffs.

Look out Les Habs!!!
