Doob's analysis:
Hurricanes have been solid in their 1st 2 games picking up 3 out of a possible 4 points. They took the Red Wings to overtime and beat the Flyers in regulation. I know it's early but it does appear as if their defense is improved, plus they have a lot of offensive talent, so it's a very dangerous team. Pens appear to be in mid season form shutting out the Devils 3-0 in the 1st game & beating the Sabres 4-1 in the 2nd game. Pens have been led by the likes of Sidney Crosby, Chuck Kobasew, & Craig Adams who have all scored a goal in each of the 1st 2 games. Marc-Andre Fleury has also looked fabulous thus far. I think it will be a good game, but I pick the Pens to prevail 3-2.

Nice Joki, but you know what they say,

"It's not over until Kobasew scores"

Nice Joki again! Really needed that goal, Canes had all sorts of momentum going for them up till this point.

Said after game 1 that was the reason the Cane's let Jokinen go and tonight is a reason why Shero picked him up.

Joki should do well playing with Geno & BB.

Maatta really had a presence compared to his 1st 2 games.

Also Glass was a monster.

Good night for the Pens :suds:
