If you think that line's gonna score 3 goals a game, you're kidding yourself.

Definitely not, the Fisher line has to produce for sure. Alfie wasn't his usual self either, a little bit of rust I think for everyone.

No kidding. We'll need more than the Kelly-Neil-Ruutu line to step up. The Pens fell asleep after the first goal for half the game last night. We won't be so fortunate in game 2 methinks.

Out here in these fields (at the Scotiabank Place), we farm for our meals.

It's been two years in the making, we won't get fooled again.

Atta boy, Dash (gave you a p+, I can't believe no-one else did).

Any way to get Zack Smith in there?

But as you sad, anyways, we do hope he will be ok. But, for someone who is 25 years old to have had 4+ major knee injuries, you have to think how much more he can take? I know many people who have had bad knee injuries at 16 and their careers were over.

But he's running out of ligaments to tear up. Pretty soon they'll all be teflon or nylon or whatever the cool kids are using these days.

The far right actually is Smith lol. I am missing Regin. It was tough to get their heads cocked to the side, except Foligno's, that's the way his head was.

Honestly, for tomorrow. Neil line needs to play the same way they did last night. Smith line also needs to play the same way. Fisher line needs to at least not be in the negative (plus/minus wise), but having them produce would be great. The Alfie line needs to produce for sure. Karlsson and Volchenkov need to continue it. Carkner/Campoli/Sutton need to play great, and so does Elliot.

All that comes together, Sens will be totally and completely fine. That or Pens play poorly, and all is well.

I could see tomorrow's game go either way!

GO SENS GO!!!!

Game Day!!!

GO SENS GO!!!

Big test for the boys tonight... no Michalek, no Kovalev, no Kuba... all the pressure is on the Pens now... time to strike while the iron is hot.

Let's go boys!

According to a 2000 World Health Organisation report, France has the best-ranked health care system in the world. Canada came 30th, the U.S. 37th. Surprised? I am.

I got my jersey on. Hope I don't get rained on on the bike ride to work. Got pretty soaked coming home yesterday. It's not too bad, though. I'm working on that " Sorry, boss really not feeling that great" excuse so I can watch past the second period of one of those West games

GO SENS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am surprised, thats' pretty low. Wonder if it is because of the wait times for procedures? Or lack of doctors for the number of patients?

what makes a "good" health system? access to what you need?

I was in Paris recently. Wife was ill she was able to get stuff over the counter that you couldn't get unless you see a doctor here. it was very convienent.

That could be taken advantage of you would think.

could Kuba come back at all these play offs?

Hopefully Cheechoo clears and he can be back in the lineup on Sunday.

That's a lot of Donovan's.

What do you call a group of "Donovans"? A shean?
