Game 17 - Penguins at Hurricanes

Why does Royal Bank of Canada sponsor a hockey arena in North Carolina?  Dumb.

Root Sports and 105.9 the X

The Pens travel to Raleigh tonight for their first meeting of the season with the Carolina Hurricanes.  No word yet on if Bill Cowher will be in attendance.

Idiot

We were also recently informed that two brothers will be playing against each other during tonight's game.

Carolina is garbage this year and Eric Staal is playing like it.  Pretty sure Jordan has more points that he has goals.  Too lazy to look up the stats on that.
