Going into Saturday nights game with the Rangers the Penguins were finally healthy, short only winger Chris Kunitz. As predicted by almost everyone, once the Penguins were healthy again they would go back to their winning ways and the offense would start to click again. They proved everyone right by putting up 8 goals on Saturday and 5 more on Monday. Sidney Crosby lead the way by scoring 5 goals and a total of 8 points in those two games, this was enough to win him the NHL player of the week. Crosby has looked amazing over the last 3 games, and has thrown his name back into contention for the scoring title. Hopefully Malkin will pick his game up as well, he has been putting up some numbers over the last couple of games, but just hasn't looked as dominate as he should out there.
Negatives:
Not much to talk about right now our offense, defense, and goal tending have been great. The one part of the game that the Penguins are still struggling with is the PP, they were 0 for 5 last night and have not looked impressive at any time on the PP this season. Its time to put someone other than Mike Yeo in charge of this PP. I just don't understand how a team with this much talent can be this bad on the PP.
Positives:
-Crosby is playing great and on pace to score 49 goals this season.
-Mike Rupp scored a hat trick last night and has proven to be a great signing by Ray Shero, I don't think anyone in the league expected Rupp to be putting up the kind of numbers he is this year.
