Game 7 and the Kovi Code...

Yinzers,

Who should sit and who should play is the big talk since yesterday afternoon. The answer is whomever.The hard facts of the matter is that we do not have the #1 ( Sid the Kid) and #2 (Geno Geno that is my name) players available in the Leauge, face it they are not coming back.

The Grind it out mentality of this squad has been very Pittsburgh Esq. They played the first 4 games like no other team I have seen . They were getting dirty goals and pucks were bouncing our way. Not so for the past two contests The pens were blown out as of 2pm on Saturday afternoon and the last game was desperation for the Bolts. So where does that leave us.......

The Alex Kovalev Factor. Kovi was with the Penguins on his forst go around the NHL 12 years ago when Mario and the Boys were doing playoff games regularly. Now an aged Kovi has slowed his game down and started to do the smart things like make the most out of his shifts. He is a smarter and more relaxed player, unlike the days when he would muscle a 2 on 1 in a heart beat. Kovi also has played in 6 game 7's. He is currently 6-0 with a point in all of them. That is quite significant. Kovi should not be sat for tonights game, I personally believe in second chances-except in this situation for Chris Conner. Conner has not done anything wrong but as the numbers tell us the Penguins are 1-30 on the power play this series. ( 3.3%)Worst in the Playoffs.We need the big body of Eric Tangradi to get the go for tonight and put the shadow on the Lightnings relic of a goaltender.
So this is it. It's a sexy as it's going to get. For all the First round Marbles.

Lets. GO. Pens.
