Pens are up 2 games to 1 on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Here's what we're buzzing about on the off-day; Gentleman Jim is a finalist for GM of the year, the Black Aces are about to arrive, Patric Hornqvist's passon, defensive analysis and more!

Penguins GM Jim Rutherford was named a finalist for GM of the year, along with Washington's Brian MacLellan and Dallas's Jim Nill.

Rutherford should win this award going away.

He's not perfect an has made mistakes, but not this season. And, let's not forget GM of the year can change quickly.
