GAMEDAY 76 - MAPLE LEAFS

Written by Rick

 

5:00 PM
 
Mellon Arena
 
Listen to the game at [WXDX]
 
Know the Enemy:
 
 
 
5:00 pm seems like a strange time to start a hockey game.
 
We continue on the final homestand in Mellon Arena history.
Today, the Maple Leafs visit the old girl.
 
Alexei Ponikarovsky will face his old team for the first time.
Luca Caputi returns to the Igloo to play against the Pens.
 
The Leafs have been winning recently.
They've been victorious in five of their last six and eight of their last ten.
They remain last in the Eastern Conference and three points behind the Carolina Hurricanes.

 
50 former Penguins will return to the Igloo for the final regular season game.
Double J does not appear on the list.
 
The Post-Gazette is reporting that the 2011 NHL Winter Classic will take place at Heinz Field.
The game would be Pittsburgh versus Washington.
It seems a little early for the Penguins to participate in another Winter Classic.
 
Evgeni Malkin is still listed as day-to-day and Sergei Gonchar is questionable for today.
 
Jean-Sebastien Giguere will be in net for the Leafs.
 
 
 
Projected Penguins Lines:
 
Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis
Alexei Ponikarovsky - Jordan Staal - Ruslan Fedotenko
Matt Cooke - Tyler Kennedy  - Bill Guerin
Mike Rupp - Max Talbot - Craig Adams

Jordan Leopold - Mark Eaton
Brooks Orpik - Kris Letang
Jay McKee - Alex Goligoski

Marc-Andre Fleury

 
 
 
Do it.
 

Go Pens.

"The New Jersey Devils are a win away from meeting the Kings in the Stanley Cup Final." Who honestly would have predicted that 2 months ago?

@psamp saw the design concept page for Archer's space armor today. One concept had Archer in Xtacle armor. May have teared up.
