Game 20 - Pens at Panthers

South Florida.  Lots of rats down there.

That series was vomit inducing by the way.  Really was the first seed planted for the lockout in 2004-2005.

Back to this year, the Pens are 13-6 with 26 points, good for first in the Atlantic Division and 2nd in the Eastern Conference.  After tonight's game we'll take a closer look at the standings and look at what playoff matchups would be as of today. 

Malkin is apparently not working out, and there is no timetable on his return.  He will not play until next week at the earliest.

We are surprised that Mario Lemieux has not wanted that Florida player kicked out of the league for a hockey play.  Ottawa, take note.

Vokoun will be in net tonight against his former team.

Mark Eaton was signed yesterday to a one year deal.  Terrible signing in our opinion.  Gotta let the kids sink or swim at this point.  The only thing we see this as good for is a veteran presence at practice and as a veteran plug in the playoffs for when Matt Niskanen Ben Lovejoy Deryk Engelland someone on the third defensive pairing gets embarrassed again.

Game at 7:30.  Go Pens
