Gillies: The Bell Tolls For Thee

Ding! Ding! Well Pens fans, this is the game we've all been waiting for (I can't believe I just said that. Usually a game vs the Islanders defines the term meaningless)
Enter Trevor Gillies, the man who taunted and cheap-shotted his way into hockey conciousness (or unconciousness: see Eric Tangradi) will hopefully be on the ice tonight and not hiding in the runway to the locker room. Such a pro...
So who will it be? Who's gonna give Trevor his comeuppance? Engelland? Rupp? Goddard? Personally, I wish that during February's fiasco on the isle, Goddard would've left the bench to take care of Gillies instead of defending Johnson. I mean, we all know our backup goaltender can handle himself.
The Pens seem to be downplaying any sort of revenge, citing the importance of getting two points and the possibility of winning the division, but I think they'll be something special in the gameplan tonight for Gillies.
My prediction:
Pens 5 Isles 2
Engelland 1 Gillies 0
