Penguins Beat Stars

This was not as much of a game as a Pittsburgh route, Dallas was never even in this game. Glad we got the two points and we got them convincingly but this game was not much fun to watch, it looked like the Stars have packed it in for the season. It was nice to see both Staal and Satan score goals in this game. Satan clearly likes playing for Bylsma more than Therrien and i suspect he will get his chance on the first line again once Crosby gets back in the lineup. If Satan continues to play the way he has the last two weeks him Crosby and Kunitz could be a very productive line.

So far so good on the 5 game road trip, 2 games played to Penguins wins if they can get at least one more win on this trip they will be in great position to compete for the 4th or 5th seed in the East. with the win against Dallas the Penguins moved back into the playoff picture for the first time since January taking over soul possesion of 8th place. They should be able to pass in injury riddled Sabers team, and the Canadians and Rangers who are playing about as well as the Penguins did in December and January. The teams that are going to be hard to pass are the Flyers and Panthers.
