Why you should care: This game has “AHL Game of the Week” written all over it. Both teams, decimated by call-ups to their parent teams, refusing to lose. What happens when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object? I think we find out tonight in Binghamton. Binghamton is bonafide one of the top three teams in the East right now despite the standings position. They have given the Pens fits all season. What happens tonight? I cannot wait to find out.
