"Cinco de Geno"
I know we have our injuries( which is mainly why there is a game tonight) but looking at these lineups there is no reason the Pens shouldnt take over tonight. Caps already lost Mojo, Williams, Schmidt, etc. No Bura or Wilson now. While we have Malkin and Hagelin back. Their lineup is thin.
They are down to 4 players who can beat Murray's glove side. We saw last game when others were going for it on odd man rushes...over the net. They cant pick their spots like AO and Kuznetzov(who also might have an injured wrist).
We havent scored more than 3 goals yet, if our depth finally steps up this should be the first "relaxing" 3rd period of the series. Pens always had at least one or two of those in each series the last 3 years
With the lack of depth scoring we're getting, the Caps can say the exact same thing about the Pens. "They've got like 4 guys who can score, and the rest can't".
Pens are 0-6 with Joanette and the Caps have won FIVE straight Game 5s. Four of those were at home, as tonight's is.
Yikes. Go Pens?
I don't expect us to beat Tampa, if they close it out against Boston. I'd be alright with losing to the Bolts. But god dammit, I wanna beat Washington. I will be irrationally upset if we lose this series.
Win tonight. Whatever it takes. Show up, do your job.
Could this be true? I hope so with how Phil has looked lately....
