Coming off two losses in consecutive days the Pens will have to play two more nights straight before getting another rest. Luckily for them the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets are next on the schedule. Having played more games then any other CPHL team and having 2 more days before a rest the Pens are lucky that their next opponent should be like playing a bunch of Peewee's.

GM Goffie wasn't worried about a loss in this one: "Fatigue has been a major factor for us this season, lucky for us that today we could send out the baby Pens and get the W against these guys." I mean they have a GM that still thinks that Boyd Devereaux and Brian Willsie are still CPHLers. I think they would be lucky to crack most AHL lineups"

Team captain Chris Pronger laughed at the chance of being upset in this one.
"Who is gonna score on us Blakeeee?? haha...Not Likely! But if he somehow does it will probably be after the game is out of hand and we feel bad for the little puke."

Star center Sidney Crosby couldn't decided if he should try to pad the stats or take a night off. "I am gonna use this as a therapy day, if I pop 5 points I do, if not ahh well. The two points we are guaranteed is all that matters."

One thing for sure is that the Pens need two points desperately and the right recipe to gain them is on the horizon in this road game.
When the media tried to reach GM Penney for comment; he was too tied up with new acquisition Thomas Vanek to make a statement.
Pens prepare for easiest game of the season!
