Happy Halloween!

Hey pens fans,
FYI for anyone who didn't know the Pens have decided to keep Jordan Staal here in Pittsburgh. On the other hand, Kris LeTang has been sent back to his Canadian Junior Team. Eric Cairns has been recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after his rehab stint there. As, October comes to an end, I think that the hockey world is blinking is amazment at the progress the Pens have made. No one thought we would be a formidable opponent for a fews years. This Octoer has been one of the best, not only recently, but in team history. Now don't go bet your life savins that the Pens will win the the cup this yeaer, but they are a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully, this trend continues throug there Western road trip, which begins in LA, with a 10:30 pm face off time here on the east coast.
