The game of the Penguins looks smooth so far in the playoffs. Eventhough Sergej Gonchar seems to have some problems with his knee, he still gets a lot of ice-time. Sid and Geno are producing point after point and Jordan Staal's line does a pretty good job against the top lines. After a tough round against Philadelphia and an even tougher series against Washington, the signs look good for this years Stanley Cup Finals.

Evgeni Malkin crunched Nik Zherdev in the 2nd period. Really nice hit. I think Malkin likes to play against other russian players. The Penguins traded for Garon yesterday in a deal that sent Dany Sabourin, Ryan Stone and a 2011 4th round draft…
