Dan Muse has a tendency to generalize, even when he's asked a super specific question, and I know because I've tried myself.

But you know, that might be a healthy trait to be holding on to right about now. Good morning to you. Good Thursday morning. I'm Dan Kovach of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is daily shot of penguins. It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into football and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates in the same place that you found this.

Penguins versus Senators up in Canada's capital.

That's a 708 p.m. face-off.

And it'll present the visitors with a couple of what I would imagine are very welcome opportunities.

One of course being they're not in Pittsburgh anymore.

They're in Ottawa.

And after a horrific O2 and 3 homestand in which they were blowing historic leads and all that other stuff that you don't need to have rehashed.

You've heard me say again and again and again, give me the Madison Square Garden game.

And it's probably gotten to the point where it's like roll your eyes level tired.

waited for the puck to come to them, which is the sad stage that it's at now, where if the other

team doesn't do something really careless and just hand them the puck, they're not getting

it. They're not even reaching for it, they're not hitting for it,

they're not skating for it, they stand still. Then once they do get it, they'll discard it,

as if all of that meant nothing. So Mews was asked yesterday after practice in Cranberry,

what needs to happen in Ottawa and he came back with
