Pens Playoff Gameday 5/4/10 - All is Well

Its OK Pens fans, we only lost one game. Remember its a race to four!!!!


A few possible lineup changes tonight as Bill Guerrin sat out with a maintenance day and is a game-time decision. Mark Letestu centered the third line this morning in pregame skate. Your projected lines if Guerrin can not go.

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Ponikarovsky-Malkin-Talbot
Cooke-Letestu-Kennedy
Rupp-Adams-Fedotenko

Orpik-Gonchar

Eaton-Letang

Leopold-Goligoski

Fleury

One huge problem the Penguins need to fix is having player dominate behind Fleury and get quick passes out to the slot to one timers. The Canadiens first goal in game 2 is the perfect example of this goal. Its also the 2ND goal this series from that type of play and Ottawa scored a few goal last series and its quickly becoming an issue.

1:30 mark. How do you stop this play? Be physical with the player behind the net and take the guy out in front of the net.


My keys for tonight's game:

1.) Be physical for 60 minutes. Heavy fore check, heavy back check, and heavy checking period.

2.) Power play - I didn't type it for game 2 and we didn't score. We don't need 4-4, but 2-4 would be nice.

3.) Marc Andre Fleury - Steal a game and shut everyone in this city up for one night.
