Thrashers/Pens preview


Tonight the Pens host the red-hot Atlanta Thrashers.

Red-hot and Atlanta Thrashers are not words not usually seen in the same sentence.

Atlanta has won a franchise best 6 games in a row!! This partially without the services of their best player. Kovalchuk may be back in the lineup for tonight's game.

The Thrashers have outscored opponents 23-9 during the winning streak.

Don't you love facing a loser team that is over-achieving at this time of the year?

Kari Lehtonen is (finally) living up to expectations - tonight is a good time to bring him back to earth.


The Craps fired 50 shots at him last night, so lets pepper the poor SOB again.

In that game, I got my wish, and the Thrashers scored a lot against the Crapitols.

Hopefully they scored themselves out, and we feast on Southern fowl tonight.

Geno has been sick lately, so that explains his lack of productivity - it reminds me of the last few games against the Flyers in the Conference Finals, and the first two games in the Stanley Cup Finals agains the Red Wings last year.

Sid looks like he is having fun again, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he overtakes Malkin in the scoring race - should be fun to watch.

On a side note to the Thrashers:

There's only room for one team with baby blue jerseys in this league - ours are WAY nicer, have history, and we were here first, so go back to your "awesome" goofy third jerseys:


BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Actually there is one possible way for these things to look good:



GO PENS

EDIT:
Ilya Kovalchuk did not make the trip to Pittsburgh, and will not play tonight.

EDIT Part Deux:
Apparently Johan "Moose" Hedberg will get the start tonight. Can the stars align more perfectly for this game - hopefully we can take advantage.
