		<title>Atlantic Division Gets Tough…Literally</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Atlantic Division figures to be tough this upcoming season…in more ways than one. First, it boasts what should be considered three of the top four teams in the conference: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New Jersey. Second, it’s now home to some of the toughest SOBs in the league. Here’s what Atlantic Division teams will bring to the table in 2010-11 in terms of toughness:

Philadelphia – Jody Shelley and Daniel Carcillo/Ian Laperriere
New Jersey – Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond and David Clarkson
N.Y. Rangers – Derek Boogaard and Brandon Prust

		<description><![CDATA[What will hopefully go down as the worst trade in Ray Shero’s tenure as Pens’ GM is officially history. Alexei Ponikarovsky somehow got a one-year, $3 million deal from the LA Kings, who must be more desperate for offensive help than I had previously thought. Not to beat a dead horse, but Alex P. had 2 goals in 16 regular-season games for the Pens, then proceeded to do diddly-poo in the playoffs, netting 1 goal in 11 games.
