What a game!.
WOO! Pens win 5-0 over Islanders. Crosby's back!. It took Crosby 5 min in to the first period to score his first goal of the season in his comeback game after being out 11 months. Crosby got two assists in the game, one when he passed the puck to Orpik who ripped a great slapshot from the blueline in to the goal (Orpik's second goal in 4 games). And the second assist of Crosby came on the powerplay when he passed the puck to Letang, Letang slap-passed the puck to Malkin who was beside the net and shot it in, Malkin with a goal. Enough about Crosby for a min. Malkin scored a PP-Goal and made a beautiful pass to Sullivan who scored. Malkin went out with a goal and an assist. But Crosby did not end there. Crosby got another goal when he was having fun with the Islander defender Jurcina, he showed a bit of the Crosby vs. Spezza play Game 2 Playoffs 2010 and scored his second goal of the night. Fleury got the shutout!.
Crosby came out with 4p (2G 2A).
Dupuis came out with 3p (0G 3A).
Malkin came out with 2p (1G 1A).
Fleury came out with the shutout.

Game 1
October 6th
Pittsburgh @ Vancouver.
Penguins had a long off-season after losing three playoff matches in a row and being eliminated by the Lightning in Game 7 of the first round last season. They were hungry for win.
While Penguins where eliminated, The Canucks beat the Blackhawks in a Game 7 Overtime in the first round and went on to beat Nashville and San Jose to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in franchise history. Last time they were in the Finals they lost to New York Rangers 3-2 in Game 7 1994. Fans were rioting in the streets of Vancouver that night.
17 years in the future. Stanley Cup Final 2011 Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins. Bruins who already had two game seven matches heading in to this series. After Bruins tied the Series 3-3 it was time for a Game 7 for the canucks this time, only diffrence. This one was in Vancouver. Vancouver lost Game 7 again. But this time they lost by 4-0. Fans were rioting again and it was like never before.
Canucks great playoff-run ended in a car crash. Under the off-season The Canucks lost one member of their roster. Rick Rypien, a 27 year old center for the team killed himself after battling depression for a while. The team was hungry for a win after losing Game 7 and want to give a tribute to Rick with a win. This wasen't going to be an easy game.

2. Evgeni Malkin.
1. Marc-Andre Fleury.
+
*Marc-Andre Fleury was pure awesome. After letting in a goal he became the Classic Fleury that we all know and love.
*Evgeni Malkin with Game-Deciding Penalty Shot.
*Kris Letang with the Game-Winning Penalty Shot.
*Really great to get 2 points from the Stanley Cup Finalists.

*Penguins let the Canucks come back.
Preseason + Preview for Tonight.
It's been a long offseason for the Pens. But the Preseason looked really good.
Red Wings @ Pittsburgh 2-3
Blackhawks @ Pittsburgh 1-4
Wild @ Pittsburgh 1-4
Penguins @ Kansas City (Los Angeles Kings) 3-2 after SO.
Penguins @ Chicago 4-2
Penguins @ Detroit 2-3
Notes:
Malkin was a beast in the preseason, showing the world that The Malkin from 2009 is still in him and ready to explode. Malkin had 3g 3a in 4 games (He could have gotten more points in the Kings game but the game was not televised so we don't know if he got a point or not).
Joe Morrow was insane. I still remember when Shero drafted Morrow draft day. I was hoping for him to draft the German player that had a really great season in the german league. But then i heard him draft again a Defender for the second year in a row. But damn he showed everyone he was ready to play in the NHL. The games he really shined where against the Red Wings and Wild. He was insane on the Powerplay against the Wild. Him and Letang will become deadly when he comes back to play in the NHL. But for now he will be playing college hockey.
I really like Joe Vitale under the Preseason, he was playing for a spot in the team and got it after the preseason. He's a more scoring version of Craig Adams in my opinion.
Penguins were pretty damn good under the Preseason. Five wins in six games and the Pens let in fewer then three goals in the five of the six games.
-------
NHL's BACK!. Season 2011-2012 is only hours away.
Penguins are in Vancouver to face the Canucks. A Canucks team that lost the Stanley Cup Game 7 Final at home in a 4-0 loss and a Canucks team that are still sad about Rick Rypien who passed away in the offseason.
The Canucks are a hungry bunch that really wants to win after everything that went down last season. But so are the Penguins.
It's going to be a really tough game.

Game 1 ECQF Lightning @ Pittsburgh
The national anthem was so fucking epic, i sure love Jeff Jimerson but when the fans joined in and sang along with the singer this time... Damn that was some epic feeling.
(Photo by Gregory Shamus/NHLI via Getty Images)
I was sitting on my sofa with a Penguins home jersey on me, a Dr.Pepper in my hand, a terrible towel beside me and watching some great hockey.
First Period:
1:25 min in, Lightning got the puck to the Penguins side of the ice, Stamkos has the puck skating around beside the boards when Brooks Orpik comes and gives him some free candy with a great hit and it made the whole arena go wild! Welcome to the Playoffs. The AGH Cam showed a slow-motion of the hit afterwards, it was a really awesome hit!.
2:30 min in, Lightning create some scoring chances after Moore gets the puck in front of Fleury's leftpad and the post, Malone and Moore start hacking and wacking at the puck trying to get it past Fleury but Fleury stops it.
5:00 min in, Lightning are dominating the Pens in shots, Lundin gets the puck at the blue line and takes a shot that was deflected by Downie but Fleury with another save!.
5:30 min in, St. Louis has the puck behind the Penguins net, skating around and passes the puck to Hedman who shots the puck but Fleury saves it with his right pad and leaves a rebound and St. Louis shoots but Fleury with a save again. Fleury is showing why he is the Penguins MVP.
9:00 min in, Neal gets two great hits on both Åhlund and St. Louis. Penguins are the more physical team at this point.
10:30 min in, 4 on 4, The Lightning have the puck coming in to the Penguins zone on a 2 on 1 chance. Clark shoots the puck but Fleury saves it, it comes back to Lecavalier but Fleury with another save again.
11:00 min in, still 4 on 4, Lightning win a faceoff in the Penguins zone, gives the puck back to Brewer who shoots the puck and it got deflected by Moore and it goes through the pads of Fleury, but Fleury mannages to turn around and save the puck from going in and shoves it aside when Malone has the puck and shoots but again a save by Fleury. Fleury is on Fire!.

Second Period:
00:30 sec in, Lightning on the Powerplay, Lightning has the puck inside the Penguins zone, Stamkos has the puck and passes it to Brewer who shoots but Fleury with a save but he leaves a rebound to Lecavalier who takes the puck and stick between/behind his legs and goes for a trickshot on a pretty wide open net but Fleury saves it with his block and then Michalek gets the puck and clears it. Highlight Save and Highlight of the night.
(Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)
03:30 min in, Penguins on the Powerplay, Penguins are in the Lightning zone with the puck, Passing it around, Staal gets it, passes it to Letang who fans on the shot but Michalek's takes it instead and shoots a hard slapshot that goes behind the net and is infront of Staal who shoots and hits the post on a golden opportunity. Staal gets anothers shot but a save by Roloson.
End of Second Period
Thrid Period:
03:30 min in, Kennedy has the puck in the Lightning zone, Passes it to Kunitz who has it for a sec then Staal shoots it from Kunitz Stick but a good save by Roloson, Staal gets another shot but another good save by Roloson. Then Kennedy tries a shot but another save by rolli the goalie. Who saids that a 42 year old goalie can't make some good saves?
04:00 min in, Malone gets the puck behind the net of Fleury and gets flattened with a hit by Letang.
05:40 min in, The puck is in the Lightning zone, Neal shoots it to the goal, nothing happends, then he passes it to a free Letestu in front of the net and he shoots but a great padsave by Roloson, Neal gets the puck again, passes it to Kovalev who gets tripped really bad. It should be a penalty but nothing called, Neal gets it and passes it to a Kovalev that took some time getting up and Kovalev is alone with the goalie and SCORES!!! Alexei Kovalev scores and makes it 1-0 Penguins. It was his first goal as a Penguin in the Playoffs since May 15, 2001 when Pens won against the Devils, and his first playoff goal since April 18, 2009 when the Canadiens lost against the Bruins. Consol Energy Center Explodes!
(Photo by Gregory Shamus/NHLI via Getty Images)06:20 min in, After pens scored they win the faceoff and get it back to their own zone, Orpik passes the puck to Letang and he passes it forward, Asham takes the puck and goes all the way into the Lightning zone, then he goes around the net and tries to do a wrap around goal but he missed the puck at first, but then he takes another shot and SCORES! Arron Asham scores for the Penguins and makes it 2-0! Goal of the night! Let's hope he does as good as he did with the Flyers. Two Goals in 18 sec.
09:30 min in, Pens have a 5 on 3, The Pens are passing the puck around, from Neal to Kovalev who goes to the net and shoots but a save by Roloson, it comes back to Kovalev who passes it to Letang who then gives the puck to Kovalev, back to Neal who passes it to Kovalev heading to the goal and passes it to an open Letestu who tries to shoot but just misses. Letang has the puck, passes it up to Letestu who then passes it up to Neal for the shot, it hits the board behind the net and Kovalev gets the puck behind the net and tries to score but a great save by Roloson helps the Lightning stay in the game.
18:45 min in, The fans are going insane and chanting "FLEURY FLEURY FLEURY!", really awesome, Tampa has taken away their goalie to have an extra skater. St. Louis with a pretty dangerous shot on Fleury but Fleury saves it. Staal takes the puck from St. Louis in the Penguins zone and passes it to Kunitz who dangels around two players and gets an open lane to shoot at the empty net. SCORES! Chris Kunitz makes it 3-0 for the Penguins. Game Over!
End of Third Period and the Match.
Fleury gets his fifth shutout ever in the playoffs!

First Round Predictions of the NHL 2011 Playoffs!
Me and my friends have been predicting the first round of the playoffs.
Let's see who we can give money to predict for us or to the person that will not be getting any money to predict for.
PLAYOFF TIME!

1. Capitals vs. 8. Rangers
It's now or never for the Capitals. Capitals, improved their D-Fence and are playing more like a team and not putting the team on Ovie's back, But Washington has had a problem with the number 7. They have gone to 4 straight game 7's and only won one of them. If Capitals are going to win this series they will have help Ovie get back on his groove. If the Rangers are going to have chance to win they have to watch out for the giveaways because the Capitals have some deadly players like Ovie, Backström and Semin. Lundqvist has to keep on playing like he did in the season. I will go out and bet that Lundqvist helps Rangers win after 7 games.
Niklas : Rangers in 7 games
Elina : Capitals in 6 games
Lovisa : Capitals in 6 games
Robert Ö : Capitals in 5 games
Marcus : Capitals in 5 games
Mathias : Capitals in 6 games
Jonathan : Rangers in 7 games

Lovisa : Bruins in 7 games
Robert Ö : Bruins in 6 games
Marcus : Bruins in 4 games
Mathias : Canadiens in 7 games
Jonathan : Canadiens in 6 games
Michelle : Bruins in 7 games
Robert : Bruins in 6 games
4. Penguins vs. 5. Lightning
Penguins are going to play most of the series without Crosby, So they lose their best playoff guy. But if the Penguins can keep the groove that they had in the late parts of the Season then it can be a quite interesting series. Fleury is the man to guide the Pens to the next round, he has been the teams MVP this year. Lightning have finally gotten that Playoff spot that they missed the last 3 years. They are out to get the cup again. A team that has Stamkos, St. Louis and Lecavalier are always deadly. Pens has better D-Fence and Goaltending, while the Lightning has a great O-Fence and a pretty good Powerplay. So i will go out and say that Pens win in 6 games.
Niklas : Penguins in 6 games
Elina : Penguins in 7 games
Lovisa : Ligthning in 7 games
Robert Ö : Penguins in 6 games
Marcus : Penguins in 5 games
Mathias : Penguins in 6 games

1. Canucks vs. 8. Blackhawks
Canucks was the best team in the league this season, most of it was thx to the Sedin's. Canucks really wants to win this one and say to Chicago that they can win a Playoff Series against them after losing two straight series against them. Chicago has lost a lot of the players they had last two times they faced the Canucks in the Playoffs. So i think that Canucks will win in 6 games.
Niklas : Canucks in 6 games
Elina : Canucks in 6 games

Jonathan : Sharks in 6 games
Michelle : Sharks in 6 games
Robert : Shark In 4 games
3. Redwings vs. 6. Coyotes
Coyotes are out for revenge after last years playoff series against the Wings. Wings, They have been showing a playoff spirit the last 5 season games. If the Wings keep on with the playoff spirit they will easily go past this round, but i don't think so. I think that Coyotes will win in 7 games.
Niklas : Coyotes in 7 games
