Well - look who decided to show up this year....the Penguins team we haven't really seen since last year! Thats the way they're playing, anyways.
There were a few things that were worrying me going into the Florida game on Thursday -
3 things actually:
1. Gonchar out - he left to be by his wifes side while she gave birth. I thought without him, this team could get blown out against a team they are contending for a playoff spot with.
2. Crosby's back in the lineup. You're probably wondering why this worries me. My concern is that Sid would join a red hot team that has won all 4 games that he missed with a wonky groin - and they would lose. That would turn a huge positive into a massive negative. For some reason the Pens record without Sid is something ludacris like 24-11 or something ...
3. New guys. My worry was the 1st game this the plays arquired at the trade deadline would really suck right off the bat, deraling the teams winning streak.
Looks like i was worrying for nothing - Pens kicked ass, and looked like the Pens of last year doing it. If I were a top-seeded team in the playoffs, I don't think I'd want to face these guys right now.
