Some line-up changes for the Pens:
Obviously Voukon in the cage
Iggy will be on the right side, Neal on the left
Vitale in for Jokinen
TK in for Bennett
While Jokinen, Bennett are clearly better players.. neither are 4th line guys, and its obvious DB is trading skill for some speedy 4th line bangers, which I don't mind
In probably the most surprising move:
Despres in for Eaton
Despres is going to be a pure stud one day, but interesting he's going with the young kid who looked terrible in the 1 game he played before Orpik came back. Once again, he adds speed though
The breakout the Pens employed last game was drastically different, this is the FIRST TIME the pens have had everyone healthy all season.. have always been a couple guys out and I think they're going through adjustments that would be no big deal if happened in January... sucks they're figuring stuff out NOW
Still, with this roster, no excuse. Pens need to respond in a big way tonight

The Pens need their physical guys to be crashing tonight and slow down those Isles, don't let them get the momentum they found in game 4.
Home team advantage tonight, that is what they play all season four, it will be the factor in this series.
Iggy knocks out Martin first period.
Pens in 6!

Darn. Hate to see the Pens starting Vokoun. Would have liked to see at least one more game of Fleury.

Islanders look good! Okposo and Tavares are fantastic.

Man I love Okposo's game. He's such an awesome power forward.

Malkin is a turn over machine.

Me too, but that Phaneuf hit might have caused him to be not as good as he can be.

Good period for the Pens! Their goalie stopped pucks and Malkin's turnovers didn't end up in the back of the net! Something to build on.

Another good period by the Isles. Too bad Vokoun is in net.

And they have a McDonald and a Macdonald. Thankfully Macdonald is out with an injury.

The Isles look so confident in what they're doing right now and are totally committed to the direction their coach is giving them. Good period.
The game feels totally up in the air after that first period, though I think that 14 saves from Vokoun is also just what the Pens needed to start to give them some confidence and reduce the fragility they had with Fleury in net.

Crosby definitely looks a little off... very uncommon for him....
TK / Vitale look like great additions to the lineup
