Looks good to me . Coaching can make a difference also.

Not going to argue with this list. As Sid said tonight, "its early December, there is still alot of hockey to be played" and I agree.

I will add that the Pens are now +27 on goals and have improved their home record to 10-5-1 and the road record is a league leading 10-3-1.

1 month ago, the Pens were 2 games below .500. Now they are 20-8-2.

If this was April 10th instead of Dec 8th, I would be much happier.

The team with the hot goalie in the playoffs can go a long way. I just hope the Pens aren't playing their playoff hockey now.

Getting in the top 8 is one thing, making the top 4 is a must. Staying healthy is priceless.

gahs where would you put the Blue Jackets if you had to rank them? I know they are not a top team, but do you think they are improving? I don't follow hockey hardly at all so any opinions or info you could give would be valued.
