GAMEDAY 4. Pens vs Panthers

Consol Energy Center.  7:30 p.m.
TV: ROOT Sports.  Versus.  TSN2
Radio.  105.9 The X

Its finally here.  The Pens regular season home opener.  The Pens return home after 3 games in Western Canada in which they got 5 out of a possible 6 points.  Tonight the Pens welcome the Florida Panthers.  What a bizarre home opener.  Its never a Panthers game unless this is mention 843502465 times:
5:22 mark.  VOMIT

Last season the Pens took all 4 meetings against a horrible Panthers team who finished last in the East.  I mean, they let Chris Conner score against them for crying out loud.  And we all know Chris Conner's last memory in Pittsburgh.


The Panthers are always a pain in the ass to play.  And after adding a million and one players in the off season they'll be an even bigger pain in the ass to play against.  They added Jose Theodore who is like 19-4 or something against the Pens.
This is how I choose to remember Jose Thoedore.

No Malkin again tonight.  Only word on him is that he is sore.

No clue about any Panthers lines.

Quick thoughts:
  • Kinda curious if Crosby will skate out for introductions tonight
  • No Malkin or Orpik still
Go Pens
