Race to the Sin Bin (Mar 23)



What a disappointment we're going to see tonight in the NHL schedule and the PIM pool. The top three players out of tonight's four teams, belong to the Ottawa Senators, and none of them are expected to play tonight. What the hell, man?!?

Tonight's prime goonage will come from the Boston/New York game, where Brad Marchand (Brian) and Zdeno Chara (Brenda & Seward) are the top two active players in the pool, with 88 and 61 PIM, respectively.  This doesn't sound like nearly as much fun, until you realize that it is the Bruins and Rangers and fireworks could go off in this playoff push.

For the Rangers and picked in the pool, the top PIM-getter is Chris Kreider (Stuart), who only has 52 minutes in penalties, so I'm not expecting too much from the Blueshirts tonight.

Is there anything from the top two PIM pool teams tonight?  Wes will have Travis Hamonic going for the Islanders, he sits with 35 PIM and is his best hope of closing up the gap, which now sits at 28 minutes tonight.  Derek & Dan only have goalie Henrik Lundqvist healthy tonight, but he could take a couple hacks at Marchand, I'm sure.
