commentary...

Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh:without Sidney Crosby,and Evgeni Malkin,Penguins have to rely on Marc-Andre Fleury,and their defense,to beat the Lightning,which have a goaltender,who has playoff experience,in Dwayne Roloson,and can score in bunches,with Martin St. Louis,Vincent LaCavalier,and Steven Stamkos,who was second,with 45 goals,in the NHL,behind Corey Perry's 50 goals,for the Anaheim Ducks... Pittsburgh has some very good offensive players,but honestly,it has been a real team effort,to get them this far,with Crosby,and Malkin,both of whom have been out most of the season,with major injuries... both teams have the team to win this series,and the key to the Penguins' success,is whether they can score in bunches,on Roloson,who is so-so,in playoff career,and is very beatable with long shots(soft goals),and if both teams can light up each other's goaltender,this series,has potential to be a high scoring shootout,of a series... Fleury has been to two Stanley Cup Finals,against my beloved Red Wings,in 2008-2009(one win-2009,and one loss-2008),so can Penguins shut down Stamkos,and company,over a possible seven games? the answer is no,but can he steal a game,or two,in this series... the answer to that question,is yes... can Penguins win series? yes,but Fleury has to play,like he did in 2008,and 2009... if he can,the Penguins will win series,but if he does not play lights-out,the Penguins are in deep trouble...
