Pitt has to be the favorite coming out of the east with or without 87. If he truly is healthy then I don't see a team taking 4 of 7 against this team.

Also, i'll definitely be pulling for Detroit tonight against NYR. Gotta support Howard, that and i want NYR to drop to 4th for the playoffs

Pens win 5-1 against Nashville.

They're 25-4-2 in their last 31.

Geno had 2 goals and is now 95 points (45G,50A)

Neal had 4 assists and is now top 5 in the league in scoring, 76 points (35G,41A)

Oh, and Fleury is the first goalie this year to reach 40 wins!

impressive....but i'm biased so i gotta say, if Jimmy Howard doesn't get hurt he'd long since be there.

Rangers lose to Buffalo tonight so if the Pens beat Ottawa tomorrow, they're in 1st in the East.

Losing two to the Islanders hurts worse. Okay, probably not...but still.

I'd be more concerned with just getting back to how they'd been playing instead of getting first. Seems they've lost what...3 of 4 (counting the one-point OT loss as a loss) while giving up a lot of goals. Five last night and didn't they give up an 8-goal performance in another loss.

They had a really awesome month to get into contention for first...I'm just worried that they'll enter the playoffs on a slump now. Things like that don't fill me with confidence.

Heading down Sunday for the Flyers.

Good chance of some spillover from this one into the playoff series, which looms.

Sounds fun. I'm going Thursday vs. the Rangers. Too bad the Pens laid 2 eggs vs the Islanders to keep this one from being interesting.

Boston vs Pitt tonight - this game has no impact on boston what so ever so i expect turco to start and get lit up

Edit: Bruins called up their AHL goalie from Providence - he might get the start over Turco. I expect a blow out if that's the case.
