Series notes
All-time: Pens lead 60-35-1
Season series: Pens lead 1-0
Last meeting: 10/19/2013 @ Consol Energy Center, Pens won 4-3 in SO

Doob's take: Pens got an offensive boost from Geno & Tang last game. At the same time the defense was abysmal. Hopefully the Pens can find a way to tighten up on D against the Canucks, who have been struggling as of late. Still tho, Canucks took us tot he brink the last time they faced us at the CEC and this time it'll be on their home ice. Doobster picks a repeat of last time, 4-3 Pens in SO.

I'm hoping to get tickets to this game...

Should be a good one to go to. Doobster expects you to get your $'s worth and some.

Guins? I thought it was a pun on "Goons" + "Bruins".

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

That would be Grooins.

Did you get tickets?

Not as of yet (Crosby only comes to town once a year thus it's a hot ticket).

Reports indicate that Booth and Weise are the healthy scratches for #canucks tonight.

Lack getting the nod in net tonight. I think Kunitz will score a hattrick, then go all Joe Thornton to the crowd who doubts his Olympic abilities.

I wouldn't pay top dollar to see Kneel, a nut puncher and a convicted hair puller. Malkin seems like an alright dude though.

Hah, coming into a game against the Nucks, saying Geno's an "alright dude" won't go over well...

There's only one way to catch a Canuck...
