PHT- End of 1st in San Jose, Pens lead 2-0

Rough period for San Jose. Penguins get 2 early goals from Engelland and Malkin. Malkin flying out there. Some joke fight that Adams had to take at the end of the first.

Keep it going.

Patrick Kaleta of the Buffalo Sabres suspended 4 games for headbutting some Flyer. And he didn't expect to be suspended, after he used a WWE move on the rink...Riiiiiiight.

PHT- Gameday #14 @ San Jose

This is the first post for the new an refined Penguins Hockey Talk blog, so without wasting any time, lets jump right into the gameday. The Penguins come into this game with an 8-3-2 record, 18 points, which currently is good enough for the lead in the Atlantic Division. San Jose comes into tonights game with a 6-4-0 record, which puts them in a tie for last place with Anaheim in the Pacific Division. Pittsburgh is 4-2-1 away from CEC this season, while San Jose is struggling in the shark tank, posting a 1-2-0 record at home this season. The Sharks seem to be struggling to find there spark this year, while Pittsburgh continues to roll on with a depleted lineup. The Penguins have played this entire season without Crosby, and a big chunk of it without Malkin. However, they continue to find ways to win games, largely in part to James Neal and his 9 goals to start the season. It is early, but Neal is looking like he has found his home in a Penguin sweater.

We all know the story by this point. Pens haven't won a game in San Jose since 1997, blah blah blah. Anyone who says that stat and thinks it means anything to tonights game is a total moron and shouldn't even be speaking. Time to get shit done tonight.
