It's game two tonight!

If you are true Penguins fan, then you know that all is not lost after a game one performance that was average, but not great. Here are thirteen things the Pens need to do to win tonight in Detroit:

1. No more lazy plays. Way too many last night. Scuderi and Gill had a pair that allowed the first goal. Too many lazy passes were just snatched and driven hard the other way by Detroit.

2. Bury your chances. Malkin, Letang, and Satan all had quality chances. Pens are up 2-1 there, who knows? Well, we won't know. Don't let that happen tonight.

3. Win them faceoffs. Pens really need to win some of the draws, especially when you lose them almost 2-1 in Game 1.

4. Dump the puck in. They pretty much put 4-5 at the blue line. Can't keep trying that.

5. Power play. Had some chances, but only two shots and failed to establish the second one. See #4 for solution.

6. Play a sixty-minute game. They didn't Saturday, and that was apparent.

7. "Lively" boards cannot be utilized. Stop the point shots, solve part of that problem.

8. Fleury has to look like he did in Carolina for game 4. That performance yesterday was inadequate at best.

9. Crosby and Hank. Sid's got to solve Zetterberg sooner rather than later. His linemates are going to play hard. I think Sid is going to will his team on like he did in game 2 in Washington. Even though they lost that game, didn't Sid put on a show?

10. Bill Geurin. He played some of the worst I've seen him play. I don't know why, either. Lazy passes. Not driving hard enough. You're 39, and this could be it for you! DRIVE, DAMN IT!

11. Don't worry about Geno. He showed up yesterday, and he's ready to win some games. Easily the best player out there last night for the Pens. He's got to be better out there.

12. Kronwall wants your head. He took Ruutu's and Malone's last year. He wanted Geno's last night. I'm not sure that that rule doesn't need changed so you can't leave your feet, or that he's not breaking a rule by charging, but everybedy better keep their heads on a swivel because he wants a piece of somebody. Last night, he got the glass. Something tells me, though, we haven't seem the last of him.

13. Good things happen when you go to the net. We need to get a little more activity in the center of the ice. Letang had a beautiful chance there. The Wings are playing a surround style. They put 2-3 guys around the puck carrier. However, that leaves someone open, usually along the point. Gonchar and Letang must make them pay for those shifts.

That's all. Let's Go Pens!
