Why you should care: The Road to the 2010-2011 Calder Cup is coming through Wilkes-Barre this year. The Bears have won it eleven times including the past two years. This could be a preview of the East Division Final. Or, it could be more like an exhibition game with both teams cemented in their spots in the division. Regardless, Pens / Bears on a Friday night in the AHL is always fun.
