Check out Saturday's scoreboard...
Panthers...7-2 losers to the Devils
Sabres...2-0 losers to the Islanders
Hurricanes...5-3 losers on 4 goals by the Thrashers in the 3rd period
Aside from the Rangers crushing a reeling Avalanche team 6-1, just about everything that could go right for the Penguins did go right for the Penguins.
Tomorrow the Pens face a Dallas Stars team that lost it's 4th in a row on home ice today to the Ducks.
The Pens will have the benefit of a days rest.
This game is the biggest of the season to date.
A win will put the Penguins officially back in the race.
It's a huge test to see if this team really can take advantage of the opportunity they have before them.
Playoff teams do that.
Will the Peguins do that tomorrow?
I predict, with or without Sid, Pens 5-2, they are starting to roll. Remember, they just have to keep it close because they have an eight game homestand coming up. That is when they will make or miss the playoffs.
