Gameday 70 - Oilers
3:00 pm
CONSOL Energy Center
TV: FSN
Another afternoon game. Back-to-back games. Daylight Savings Time.
We barely managed to summon up the energy to write a gameday post. How is anyone supposed to play hockey?

What they're saying about the Oilers:
The only lineup change for the Oilers should be that Steve MacIntyre might actually get a shift this afternoon after spending all 60 minutes stapled to the bench in Detroit. After a solid performance in Detroit, today would be a great time to see if Devan Dubnyk can put together solid back-to-back performances. There would be zero point in playing Nikolai Khabibulin today.
Season series: N/A
Last meeting: January 14, 2010 - Penguins Won 3-2
What we said in our recap:
As Pens fans, we'll definitely chalk this up to the Pens refusing to lie down. Jordan Staal has arguably been the Pens' best non-87 player for the last couple weeks.
Penguins notes:
WeAreTired.Sorry.
Oilers notes:
The Oilers have lost three-in-a-row.Not sure if it will be Khabibulin or Dubnyk in net. We'll guess that Fleury will start for the Pens.

We looked frantically for the "Kevin Lowe Throwing Money" gif that we love but came up empty handed.
