Race to the Sin Bin (Feb 22)



There isn't a whole lot of action on the slate for our top two goon squads to start Week Twenty-One, as Wes might have Zac Rinaldo in for the Bruins (coach's discretion) and Derek & Dan top out with Shane Doan of the Coyotes, so there really isn't too much to it.

John R. opted to go the route of the goons to finish the year, trying to jump into the top five teams, at the very least.  His biggest hired gun goes tonight, as Tom Wilson will get the call for the Capitals, when they play the Coyotes tonight.

John's team opens the week in 10th place in the PIM pool standings, 51 minutes back of 5th place, so his team has a lot of work to do to get up there.  His team is also in 10th place in the race, since the start of the third segment, so his new players haven't quite contracted penalty fever just yet.

Dale B.'s team, which sits in 3rd in the mini-game, will have Scott Hartnell going tonight for the Blue Jackets, as they visit Boston tonight.  His team has been making some progress in the field, so they'll be interesting to watch, if their backs are pushed up against the wall.
