Penguin followers are asking themselves if Gary Roberts, the iron man inspiration of the team, will make a difference. Right winger George Laraque will be sidelined for the game tonight as the 42 year old forward returns to the lineup. 
"I'm focused on what I need to do to help the team win," Roberts said. "Any time you lose a game it's tough, but this team has bounced back before. There is a lot of character in here and there's no reason we won't bounce back." (AP)
Gary Roberts was dismayed when he wasn't allowed to play the first game of the Stanley Cup Final. Therrien benched him and a perplexed Roberts who recently fought a bout of pneumonia asked himself if he would be allowed to spark the team to create needed chemistry. Roberts will play on the fourth line along with Jarkko Ruutu and Adam Hall.
Michel Therrien will also shuffle the Penguin's first three lines after the 4-0 Detroit Red Wing shut out. Sidney Crosby will center Marian Hossa and Ryan Malone. Pascual Dupuis will play alongside Staal and Tyler Kennedy while Malkin will center the third line with Maxime Talbot and Petr Sykora.
But everyone at the Igloo back home keeps asking, "What Will Gary Roberts Do?"
