POFA's Notes
When things get bad during a hockey season, things tend to get really bad. Here we are with seven games under our belts and we are dealign with injuries, and suspensions.
Get your heads right. It's only October, and we have a long road ahead of us, and it is one that includes the return of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Tyler Kennedy, and Brooks Orpik.
The Pens will be fine.
