penguins with the magic 7th W headin' into the break. If I were Neal, I'd deny the All-Star request. Take me a nice week-long vacation, a mental break.

48, 71, and 18 in the ASG.

Only 2.5 months 'til playoffs.

Wow, Tampa is in 11th now, moved up like 3 places overnight. It's really a race for bottom dweller - 4 teams wtih 45 points, TB with 46. Eastern Playoffs are basically set, either NJ or Toronto not gonna make it.

Looks like Pittsburgh/Rangers/Boston(/and maybe Philly) vs.
