The Battle For The Playoffs

The Penguins are currently in 8th place in the Eastern Conference up three points to Buffalo. However, there is really a three-way-tie for 8th right now and the only difference between 8th (Pittsburgh) and 5th (Montreal) is 1 point! Just like that, Pittsburgh can get one more win and move to 4th place in one game. The Penguins have also recently picked up some hot trades such as the former Anaheim Duck, Chris Kunitz. He is currently on a five-game scoring streak and has turned out to be a more powerful force than expected. If we keep up the good work and Crosby gets healthy, we'll have a very strong chance this year. The only problem eith being in 8th, is we'll have to play the 1st seed, Boston which could be a bit of a problem. So I hope we'll at least move up a few seeds before playoffs begin.
