Small preview for the series.

Per tsn.ca/nhl

These were the practice lines for Ottawa:

Forwards
Heatley - Spezza - Robitaille
Stillman - Vermette - Donovan
Foligno - McAmmond - Neil
Schubert - Bass - Lapointe
McGrattan - Winchester

Defence
Redden - Volchenkov
Commodore - Phillips
Meszaros - Lee
Richardson

Goaltender
Gerber
Emery
Murray also plans to use top shut-down defensive tandem Chris Phillips and Anton Volchenkov against Evgeni Malkin's line.


Sid and Hossa might end up having a field day.

Pens lineup for Game 1:

Malone-Malkin-Sykora
Dupuis-Crosby-Hossa
Ruutu-Staal-Kennedy
Roberts-Talbot-Laraque

Gonchar-Orpik
Gill-Letang
Whitney-Scuderi-Sydor

Sydor, Whitney and Scuderi were each rotating reps. Therrien said the defensive scratch will be a game time decision.

I'm suprised Hall is getting the scratch over Kennedy. Kennedy has been invinsible almost every game since he came back from mono. I think he needs a break.

I just bought tickets to this game. I did this last year as well. I waited for the day before and any tickets that were on reserve, are now free to the public. I will be C5.

Pens dominate Game 1. Win 4-0.

Roberts with 2 Goals
Geno with 1 Goal and 2 Assists
Sykora with 1 Goal

Pens dominated without the Crosby line doing anything.

Fleury played well but the team defense held Ottawa to little scoring changes.

Wow. I can't believe no one posts here.

Pens win Game 3 - 4-1.

They have pretty much dominated this whole series except for 1.5 periods.

Game 4 is going to start in 15 mikes. I'm so excited. Lets hope the Pens can take out Ottawa tonight. Alfreddson, Spezza & Heatly will be playing together tonight. Brooks and Gonch have to play their best games of the year tonight.

Lets go Pens!!!!

Pens dominated the 1st period. They needed to bury one of their scoring chances. Gerber is again keeping them in the game.

Wow. The Pens got lucky on Vermette's goal. It was distinct kicking motion. They need to convert on another one of their power plays. Need the next goal.

Destoyed is just a nicer way to say it.
