hey! I've been working like mad the last two weeks... back on tomorrow.

My Boss is a big Penguins fan... tattoo on his arm from '86... his brother in-law is a Detroit fan... tattoo on his heart...

They call each other names... it's fun to watch!

Oh yeah... anyone see Cherry lose his voice when he had that octopus puppet on his arm?

I enjoyed watching the game. Osgood was OsGOOD.

Pitts had their chances, but Detroit just looked so much more "comfortable" and prepared out there. They were knocking the Pens off the puck wayy too easily.

Betcha we see Roberts back in the lineup tonight. Get a little spark into them before they head back to Pittsburgh.

Yup, just read this on yahoosports:

The Eastern Conference champs will feature a new look in Game 2 in order to energize their offense.

Therrien is replacing Pascal Dupuis with Ryan Malone at left wing alongside top-liners Sidney Crosby and Marian Hossa. Malone brings more size to the line where Dupuis will take his superior speed to a third line that includes Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy.

This may signal a different approach for Crosby’s group. With Dupuis, the group tried to attack the blue line with speed and puck possession. Now, maybe the Pens will try dumping the puck in and look to put more heat on Detroit’s defense with a forechecking and cycle strategy.

“We’ve done it a lot all season, so I don’t think it’s a huge deal,†Crosby said. “I think everyone is expected to do the same thing. It’s just different looks and sometimes it depends on who Coach wants to play certain lines against and how they match up.â€

It appears veteran forward Gary Roberts will step back into the lineup. An inspirational leader on and off the ice for the Penguins, Roberts was unhappy about being scratched Saturday, a day after his 42nd birthday. Roberts has appeared in only six of Pittsburgh’s 15 playoff games (two in each series) as he’s been battling injury (leg, groin) and illness (pneumonia). He’ll likely start on a fourth line in place of Georges Laraque with Adam Hall and Max Talbot.

Laraque logged only 4:43 of ice time on Saturday.
