The Penguins went back to Pittsburgh after losing their season in Columbus and had to play the Devils. It is Christmas eve and I, like the most of you have a ton of obligations today so this one I going to be pretty short. As I talked about in the gameday, the only thing the Penguins needed to do following the Columbus game was to continue to play their game, and they did just that. It always feels good entering the holiday break with a win, and the way the Penguins have been playing the last 12 games, you should have nothing but positive vibes right now.

Sidney Crosby (24) assisted by Schultz (15) & Kessel (23)

Eric Fehr (4) unassisted

Chad Ruhwedel (1) assisted by Kunitz (13) & Malkin (24)

Patric Hornqvist (8) assisted by Malkin (25)

Thoughts:

• The Pens get to their game and get over 30 shots, night and day difference when this happens
• Marc-Andre Fluery with his second consecutive win as a back-up goalie with extra rest, that can only be a good sign
• Kyle Palmieri literally scores every game against the Pens
• Sidney Crosby has 24 goals before January, look out. What a shot for his goal in this won, yowza
• During this break hopefully the Pens can get their defense healthy, though Olesky and Ruhwedel held the fort last night while Pouliot rightfully rode the pine
• Killer pass by Geno on Hornys goal
• Justin Schultz man, 6 goals and 13 assists in his last like 10 games or something

The Pens now enter a much needed 3 day break so with that I must sign off. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays to you, your family and friends. Thank you so much for reading. Now go practice your “I love it” face in preparation for Aunt Cindy’s 2 sizes too large sweater with a duck on it. And for the love of God, LET’S GO PENS!

WOAH…HO, WOAH…HO, WOAH…HO
