Wrong. Win every game no matter whatPens are in a weird spot right now where they could either sneak into the playoffs *or* end up with the first pick in the draft. The odds obviously favor them missing out on both of those things, but honestly, I'd be happier with the latter as opposed to them making it and getting bounced in 5 games.

That's not the same situation, same rules, or really anything remotely similar to this...

I'm all for them trying to get in the playoffs.
They probably wouldn't go far but they could get hot.

That Calgary game....5 points out despite a 1-6-1 stretch at a critical part of the season.
It's a long shot but they really shouldn't mail it in yet.

If there was a player the caliber of Mario waiting in the draft (you know, one of the best to ever do it) and there wasn’t a draft lottery then… sure maybe I see that way of thinking. Fact is there isn’t that player and there is that lottery. In the words of Herm Edwards: you play to win the game.If this was the Pens 1983-84 season would you feel the same.Wrong.

For the record, if I were Pens management, I'd have the team execute a tank so massive that Sea World could use it for their orca shows.

Multiple folks in the GDT today mentioned he's been looking like a good add so far.
Sucks losing Jake, but at least one component is panning out - and is under contract.
