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.
