Many things to ponder going into the final two games of the regular season.
1. Will Mark-Andre Fleury bounce back? Who's to say? Goaltenders are flaky anyway so who knows what makes them tick?
2. What the hell was James Neal doing throwing fists in the third-to-the-last game of the season. What a time to lose a 40-goal scorer. He probably will miss the final two games and the Penguins HAVE to win at least one to finish 4th. BUT it may come to pass that if the Penguins defeat the Flyers Saturday they can knock the Flyers into 6th place and play the Devils instead in the first round. I would be nice to have him around to nail that one down.
3. Will the defense start playing the way they did about two months ago? The combinations are different now and do't appear to have gelled. Going into the playoffs without your defense "gelled" is not they way you want to have it.
4. Will the Penguins stop the idiotic trend to pass themselves out of scoring chances. This all started, as I suspected it would, when Crosby returned. Now, instead of scoring, it appears everyone wants to be on the "best" assist highlight reel. Many times they're not even best, they're just weirdly inappropriate. It has lead to beaucoups of turnovers and must stop NOW.
5. Will Malkin get 50 goals? I say yes AND the MVP.
6. Will Tyler Kennedy start scoring again? T'would be nice.
7. Can Pascal Dupuis carry his momentum into the playoffs and take Max Talbot's place scoring key goals in the playoffs?
