Tonight could be a big step toward squeezing into the playoffs for the Pens.

Well, if you can't beat the Yotes, you don't deserve to be in the playoffs...

Or getting knocked out

Oilers are starting Richard 'Takin' Care of No Business' Bachman tonight. Oy vey.

Although I did find this little nugget:

Richard Bachman's career stats vs LA Kings: 2-0-1 record 0.70 GAA .979 SV%

Bachman has only allowed one goal to a player on the 2014-15 LA Kings roster: Mike Richards

WILD clincher do-over.

They'll need to find that gear that only the Hawks possess...

2 things have hurt the Wild in the past week... the 4 day break, and pressing too much trying to clinch at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see an offensive outburst tonight. In the past 2 games against them, we've put up 44 and 43 shots while giving up 20 and 24, splitting the contests. I fully expect the Wild to play with a sense of urgnecy tonight.

Go Sens, Blues, Blackhawks, Coyotes and Kings!

Theres a chance I might be using this line Friday morning

Theres a chance I might be using this line Friday morning

I might be using this line tomorrow morning, just switch out the Yotes for the Oilers

What if the only teams you could beat over the last 10+ games were the Yotes and Oilers?

What if the Pens miss the playoffs, win the draft lottery and hand that pick to the Oilers?

The similarities to David Perron and Connor McDavid is that they have "David" in their name

I hate to do this to you dash, but I gotta cheer for AZ tonight. If they can get the two points they seal the McEichel sweeps for Buffalo.

If it helps, I'll be cheering for AZ to win in OT and the Oilers to pull off the big upset.

G with a power play blast makes it 1-0 Flyers

 

[Cobiemonster]

OMG WTF SENS?!!!! Crosby scores 10 seconds in

 

[dare2be]

OMG WTF SENS?!!!! Crosby scores 10 seconds in

Pens usual plan to get the early 2-0 lead and then squander it away is already under way.

OMG WTF SENS?!!!! Crosby scores 10 seconds in

Nothing like Crosby to make the Hamburglar grimace...

/You might have to be of a certain age to get that reference...
