I am not a Geography major, but by looking at a map of the half way point between Wilkes-Barre and Wheeling it looks like Altoona, PA is the halfway point.
Why am I mentioning this here? Brad Thiessen was recalled to Pittsburgh today and in his place, Patrick Killeen was recalled by Wilkes-Barre.
If anyone knows the true “halfway point” between Wheeling and Wilkes-Barre, going through Pittsburgh, leave it in the comments.
Killeen’s stay may be of a more permanent nature, if you buy any of the trade rumors. ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun blogged today that the Pens are looking to replace Brent Johnson. (third bullet point)
Thiessen is not that upgrade, in my opinion. Minnesota is run by Chuck Fletcher, has Mike Yeo coaching the Wild. Both had ties to the Penguins. Thiessen for Harding straight up and cut Johnson? Who knows.
Trade deadline is Monday. I’m not going to speculate on what ifs. If a body gets moved and it directly affects Wilkes-Barre, reactions on Twitter feed first then a blog here later.
Syracuse in town tomorrow, but not before they host Albany tonight. Norfolk is in Binghamton tonight. I’ll have retweets of final scores on the Twitter side later. Gameday up here tomorrow at 3 p.m.
Let’s Go Pens!

It would actually be just slightly north of Altoona, but you’re close enough.
