Pens should just end the undisclosed injury BS and let their fans in on whats going on. Another team has already done it, I believe Montreal, could be wrong though. Seriously, what is the positive in keeping everything secret? Nothing, there is none. Its not football where you spend a week getting ready for a team, and if a player is or isn't there it screws up your entire game plan. You play 82 games in a season and get ready for each game pretty much the same.
