SOME LOVE FOR THE 'GUINS

With the return of Sid the Kid coming in perfect time, the Pens are sitting atop the Eastern Conference and the Atlantic Division. They are currently sitting 2 points ahead of second place Montreal, who has a game in hand. They are one point up on fourth place New Jersey, who also has a game in hand. Basically nothing is certain other than the 'Guins having 14 HUGE games left to play. Last nights win was one of those games seen in every sport where the better team gets the win but does it ugly, getting all the little breaks and making plays when it counts. The Pens were playing the last place team in the East, and they were outplayed and outshot 35 to 22. They found a way to win though. The Pens only had 3 Power Plays all gay netting no goals. The game winner was scored by Max Talbot(no more Maxime according to Danny Potash). Max was playing on the 2nd line with Sid and Pascal Dupuis(gay yet awesome hockey name). It was a big goal for Talbot because he scored it crashing the net on a play set up by Crosby. Talbot's role if he continues to play on Sid's line is to crash the net and get garbage goals. He needs to be a clone of Ryan Malone on the 2 line for now until at least Sid starts heading the first line with Malone and Hossa. Hossa needs to hustle back into the lineup because the Pens are going to need some continuity with their top two lines come playoff time. However, the big thing to take away from last nights game was the play of Marc Andre Fleury(Note: The Floss will never refer to him as "Flower" because it is a real gay name that shouldn't label a hockey player). He saved all 35 shots last night getting him his first shutout since the injury. The Pens have two BIG questions they need to answer in these last 14 games. Michel Thierren needs tofind out what his 3 lines will be for the playoffs? He must also decide, Fleury or Conklin, or both? Personally, the Floss likes to ride the hot goaltender, but is Fleury healthy enough to play the majority of the games remaining and be able to continue deep into the playoffs? Conklin had struggled in his last few starts, but he is a huge reason the Pens did so well without Crosby. Conklin only has played in one playoff game in his career, and Fleury has only played five. The play of these goaltenders will determine the Pens fate. Until then the Floss is just ridin' the 'Guins wave all the way to Lord Stanley's Cup.

MELTDOWN IN MO-TOWN

The Panthers folded in Morgantown Monday night as the Floss predicted. Joe Alexander played like Larry effin Bird which definitely didn't help the Panthers. Alex Ruoff hit threes like they were going out of style as anyone would expect in a rivalry game at home. The rest of the Mountainqueers also had a good game. The referrees were awful, calling fouls any time a Pitt player breathed near a Mountaineer. Some very shaky calls hurt the Panthers in the game. The Floss is not worried at all about this loss. These things happen to not so great teams, which sadly the Panthers are right now. However, if you would have said the Panthers would go 3-1 in their last 4 I would have been very pumped. A win over Depaul Sunday will make that 3-1 dream come true. They will not lose this game, in the Floss' opinion. 22-9 would be the Panthers final record, which even with a first round loss in the BE Tourney still gets them dancin' in the Big Dance. Even losing their next two will get them in. With the injury troubles this season, no one can blame Jamie Dixon for the job he has done with this team. I'm just ready for a run in New York next week. PITT OWNS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

BULLSHIT-LICIOUS

At least we all can stop watching CW's "Girlicious", since Murrysville's Sweethear(bigger than you now DROF, sorry) has been eliminated. The show had it out for her the whole time. She knew it too. She pointed out that she was looked down upon because she was in college. It wasn't her fault. Honestly, the show kept on the wheelchair girl who looks like a linebacker. They kept on Illisa, who looks like an offensive guard with red hair. Honestly, think Alan Faneca. They still have some hotties left for the show, but it might be the worst reality show since "That's Amore" Sunday night. I'm going to pay attention to who wins this show, hoping that Natalie, Nichole, and Jamie can all form a new sexy girl band that DROF can listen to from across the hall.

Sidenote to COF: The drunk blog from the "Floss Files" as you called it never happened. I was going to drunk blog on DROF's computer(Floss' was off), but if you know anything about his laptop, you know that the "i" key is broke. It makes it nearly impossible to blog. So the "Floss Files" are just a rumor.

Happy Birthday to PnR. He did 18 shots in an hour at Peter's last night and proceeded to turn my bathroom to a warzone. It's time for Spring Break, Floss is getting his sauce on tonight. Lets get drunk.
