As the Penguins enter the new year, they too will have resolutions. It is no longer the year that the Penguins lost the Stanley Cup. It is no longer the year that left injured Penguins sitting in the owner's box and watching from their homes. This is no longer the year of hating Hossa. Don't get me wrong, Pittsburgh hates Marion Hossa, but it is 2009 now. 2009 is the year where the Penguins make changes and improve their season. 2009 starts today.
The Penguins take on the Boston Bruins in the second match up of a home and home series. The first game was played two nights ago in Pittsburgh where the Pens suffered a 5-2 loss. Everyone has their fingers crossed hoping that resolutions will bring rejuvenation to the young Penguin club.
There is no tougher team in the league than the Boston Bruins. I've been hearing people saying that they will fade away. This team will not fade. This team is not going to give up. The Bruins are bigger, tougher, as fast as, and as intelligent as the Penguins. Their passes are crisp, their skaters can dangle, and their goaltending has been sub-par to none. The good news is that the Penguins are just as good as the Bruins, if they are playing at full ability. The bad news is that the Pens are struggling, and the teams play tonight in Boston at 7:00. But, this is a new year.
Let's hope that this new year brings all of the Penguins goodness that Santa failed to deliver.
Most importantly, LET'S GO PENS!
Happy New Year Everyone!
