Pens face off against Tampa Bay tonight.

The Pens will play the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight and this game has become a must-win situation. That is, if the Pens are looking to make the playoffs. Our next few games are against some tough teams to beat and the Pens will need to scrounge up all the points they need from now til the end of the season. The Pens are not in a great spot to make the playoffs and that is unacceptable to me. One season after the Pens make it to the Stanley Cup Final they are struggling to make it to the top 8 in the East more than midway through the season and are doubtful to make it in the playoffs. And to think, people said that the Pens would be back in the final this season to win it. Well, maybe someone should tell the Pens they have to win regularly during the regular season to make it to the playoffs and get their chance to claim Lord Stanley's Cup.
