In other news, Crosby and Briere are sitting out todays game. If the Pens win today in Philly, they are the Eastern Conference Champions, as they would tie Montreal with 104 points, and hold they tiebreaker over Montreal.

Today's NHL on NBC game was Chicago @Detroit, Detroit came out with a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. The Wings got the NHL's President's Trophy, which goes to the team with the best record. They're guaranteed to have home ice advantage through the playoffs.

So here ya go, Hockey fans, discuss away.

What's NHL??

Go Montréal! Whatever happens today, we face Boston. They'd better get ready!

Rangers and predators are really looking good right now i think both of them could make some noise in the playoffs  Go rangers

Well, it looks like the Pens decided to tank the last game of the season so that they could face Ottawa first round instead of the Flyers. I'm really disappointed in the Pens for that. I hope it doesn't come back to bite them in the *CENSORED*.

Anyway, Let's Go Pens!
