Penguins handle Bolts with ease

That was a pretty sound all around effort. The powerplay only had one goal, but the unit generated shots all night and was not a complete black mark. Jay McKee had a big night of blocking shots, and Marc-Andre Fleury moved to 7-0 on the year, giving up just one goal in a 4-1 win for the Pens.

• McKee put on an exhibition of shot blocking. He had seven blocks tonight, adding to his league lead, and they always seemed to come at a pivotal time. He's been fearless in these first eight games, and has absolutely looked better than Hal Gill did with this team.
• Sidney Crosby bounced back after a few distinctly sub-par games in a row. He picked up two assists, one of which came on a beautiful play behind the net where he fed Mike Rupp in front for a coffin sealing tally.
• Speaking of Rupp, he played a nice game. Lots of in-your-face, physical work on the boards.
• Alex Goligoski is playing the best hockey of his brief career. He's a threat to make something happen everytime he is on the ice. He had a beautiful coverup using nothing but his speed when Sergei Gonchar was caught out of position in the second period.

I know, there's really not a lot negative to say right now. The Pens are 7-1. St. Louis on Wednesday.
