New rule:  Not talking about teams that have non plural names.  They usually suck (i.e. Wild, Avalanche, Lightning) and none of them are in the playoffs as of now.

Pens need to get 4 points this weekend to maintain a cushion on the 6th spot and possibly move up.  Good chance to get them with Tampa and Columbus coming to town.  We expect to see Theissen play in the Columbus game tomorrow.  Trade deadline is Monday.  Buckle up.
