The Penguins showed no rust after a week long layoff. In fact, they showed a lot of hunger. They seemed to thoroughly outplay Dallas in every facet of the game as they cruised back to .500. Seriously, who are these guys? They do not look like the team that has been struggling earlier this season. They look like a team with a lot of chemistry and that's oozing confidence. They look like last year's team. I really like these line combinations. Army and Malone work well with Sid. Sykora seems so natural with Malkin. And it looks like Staal is back and looks great paired with Roberts and Kennedy. Even Ruutu and Laraque are looking good. It's only been a few games so I don't want to get too excited yet, but things are looking good. Let's see how they fare against the Maple Leafs tonight.
It sure looks like Mark Recchi is on his way out of town. Recchi was a great Penguin and I hoped that he could have ended his career here but he just doesn't have it anymore. This team has been going on all cylinders ever since it was handed over to the young guys. Recchi just no longer has a place on the team.
