Game Day Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(29-32-10, 68pts) @ Florida Panthers(42-25-3, 87pts) Sunday - March 23, 6pm EDT.
I still have no idea what’s going on with this team, but man, do I love it! Lately, we’ve seen a Graves goal, an Imama goal, new guys stepping up, both of our goalies actually making saves and stopping pucks, Ned pulling off an absolute robbery, big hits being thrown, and somehow we’re winning games. Who are we?
Now, we’re heading to Florida for a tough test against the reigning Stanley Cup champions. The Panthers are 6-4-0 in their last 10 and currently sit 1st in the Atlantic, while unfortunately, we’re still 7th in the Metro. On the bright side, Florida will be on the second half of a back-to-back, which might give us a slight edge. As another positive note, since Matthew Tkachuk won’t be playing, we can all relax a little bit knowing the game should be a little less dirty. But with Florida, you can always expect some bullshit. Anyway…
Will we stay hot and keep this wild ride going? Or will we crash and burn? Either way, it will be a wild ride I’m sure.
Oh, and finally, our captain? He’s just four (4) points away from breaking the PPG record with 11 games to go. Fingers crossed!!
