PITTSBURGH -- Even as numbers on a roster, the Pittsburgh Penguins power play appears intimidating. At times on the ice, it looks borderline unfair. Start with two NHL MVPs in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Add a future Hall of Famer like Jarome Iginla and a Norris Trophy finalist in defenceman Kris Letang. Throw in a grinder to do the dirty work in Chris Kunitz and the Penguins have a unit thats an electric mix of skill, speed and grit. Give them 2 minutes to work and they can quickly turn a game into a mismatch. Its a lesson the Ottawa Senators painfully learned during a 4-1 loss to the Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday. Despite dictating play at even strength for long stretches, the Senators were practically blown out on the scoreboard after the Penguins went 2 for 3 on the power play and even added a shorthanded goal to seal it in the third period. Pittsburgh made it look easy against the NHLs best penalty killing team. The Senators stopped 88 per cent of the power plays they faced during the regular season, easily tops in the league. All power plays, however, are not created equal. And if the Senators want to even the series in Game 2 on Friday night, they have to either stay out of the penalty box entirely or find a way to stop a unit thats scoring 38 per cent of the time in the playoffs when it goes a man up. The key to Pittsburghs success doesnt rely on Xs and Os as much as remarkable talent that few -- if any -- teams can match. An eye-popping 37 per cent of Penguins power plays in the playoffs have ended with an opponent skating slowly out of the penalty box after the red light behind their goal flicks on. "They have basically five All-Stars on the first (power play) and its tough to chase them and get hits on them when theyre moving the puck properly," Ottawa defenceman Marc Methot said. "Weve got to be better." It might already be too late. The Senators have won just two playoff series in franchise history after dropping the first game, and none since 2003 and have never rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the post-season. Yet Ottawa remains upbeat, pointing to the way it was able to tilt the ice at even strength, peppering Pittsburgh goaltender Tomas Vokoun with 36 shots. A bounce here, a bounce there and a little more production on the power play -- where the Senators were 0 for 6 in the opener -- and Ottawa believes it can head home with things all tied up. "Were a confident group in here," Methot said. "We know we can hang in there with them." And Methot and his teammates insist it wont take a perfect game, just a smarter one. While three penalties is hardly a ton, the Penguins proved in Game 1 that even a single shift with the advantage is enough to take firm control of things. "If we break even on the special teams battle it gives us a good chance to win," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. After dealing with some jitters on Tuesday while making its first appearance in the second round of the post-season since making the Stanley Cup finals in 2007, Ottawa believes it has found its legs. The Senators will need them more than ever with burly defenceman Eric Gryba likely out with an upper body injury sustained after a collision with Pittsburgh defenceman Brooks Orpik Grybas job was to try and clear space in front of Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson. Without him there will be a little more room for Crosby and company to work. Its a group that is finally starting to get comfortable with each other. Pittsburgh picked up Iginla, forwards Jussi Jokinen and Brenden Morrow and defenceman Doug Murray at the trade deadline to gear up for a Cup run. Yet injuries to Crosby, Malkin, Orpik and defenceman Paul Martin late in the regular season made it difficult for coach Dan Bylsma to get a look at what he really had on his hands. In a way, Bylsma still doesnt know. He continues to tinker with lineups during games, trying to search for the right mix. The Penguins found enough in the first round to dispatch the New York Islanders in six sometimes-frantic games. They may have taken the next step in Game 1, playing more soundly defensively and more patiently offensively in perhaps their most balanced game of the playoffs. Take Pittsburghs third goal of the night, a power play score by Kunitz. Letang found himself working in the left circle and instead of moving to his left instead turned to his right and slipped a pass to Iginla. Kunitz pounced on the rebound and the Penguins had things well in hand. It started with a move Letang doesnt typically make and ended with Pittsburghs ninth power-play goal in seven playoff contests. While the goal was timely, the message it sent, however, was just as important. "When you get that power play ultimately you do want to score," said Iginla, who has two goals and eight assists in the post-season. "But a big part of our focus is to just go out there and get some momentum, get some shots, put some pressure on them." Its working vs. the Senators. Wholesale Jordan 5 NZ .

Cheapest Air Jordan 5 .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. Connacht rediscovered their title-winning form to hand Guinness PRO12 leaders Ulster a 30-25 defeat in a pulsating seven-try clash at the Sportsground.The westerners brilliantly secured just their second victory in 21 clashes with the Ulstermen, and in the process pocketed their second successive try-scoring bonus point.First-half tries from Jack Carty, man-of-the-match Cian Kelleher and James Connolly fired Pat Lams men into a 22-8 half-time lead, with Craig Gilroy notching Ulsters only five-pointer while Connacht prop Conor Carey was in the sin-bin.Ulsters resurgence started with early second-half tries from Rory Best and Jared Payne, bringing them level within five minutes, but Kelleher completed his brace and Carty kicked a 60th-minute penalty as Les Kiss side lost for the first time this season.The sidelined trio of Matt Healy, Kieran Marmion and Peter Robb took Connachts list of injured or unavailable players to 20, but a barnstorming run from hooker Dave Heffernan had the hosts in scoring range within two minutes.Caolin Blade also wriggled free before his half-back partner Carty weaved through to score under the posts and convert. Paddy Jackson settled Ulster down with a penalty, and a lovely offload from former Connacht prop Rodney Ah You set Payne free over halfway. Connacht survived a couple of sustained bouts of pressure in their 22, with Jake Heenan and Carey both forcing ruck penalties.Connacht showed the visitors how to do it with two superb tries in the 25th and 26th minutes. From an extended spell of attacking, the forwards and Bundee Aki sucked in the defenders and Tiernan OHallorans arcing pass sent Kelleher stepping inside Tommy Bowe to score wide on the left.Carty hit the post with the difficult conversion but added the extras to Connollys effort as Connacht swept through soft Ulster defending straight from the restart.ddddddddddddKelleher, Blade and OHalloran were all prominent in a swashbuckling surge, with replacement flanker Connolly barrelling over from close range.Ulster came storming back, a run of penalties leading to Connacht tighthead Carey seeing yellow for side-entry at an advancing maul. In the next phase, Paul Marshalls floated pass put Gilroy over in the left corner.Jackson failed to convert from out wide before a Kelleher-inspired attack saw Carty punish further Ulster indiscipline with a 38th-minute penalty, reopening a 14-point margin. However, Ulster re-emerged in much better shape, a maul causing enough damage for Best to plunge over just two minutes in. Jackson converted for 22-15.Bowe then scythed through off a quick lineout and fed stand-in skipper Payne for a slick seven-pointer. Connacht were far from deflated, an overcooked touchfinder from Jackson inviting the westerners forward and OHalloran and Craig Ronaldson combined to release Kelleher for the corner and the bonus-point score.With the hosts maintaining their control of the breakdown, Carty nailed a long-range penalty on the hour mark. Ulster returned the favour through Jackson and only crossing by replacement Brett Herron prevented the Ireland fly-half from registering a a potential match-winning try.However, replacement prop Ross Kanes shoulder charge on Ultan Dillane left Ulster down to 14 men for the final five minutes and their provincial rivals deservedly held on.
