Outside

Hey pens fans,
Pens @ Sabres outside on January 1, 2008 is looking very realistic...

Hockey is coming...

Hey pens fans,
Well, there has been little going on with the Pens, as of late. I haven't had much to post about. Pens Prospects/Rookie camp begins on Sept 5. Hopefully, reports out of there will give us all something to discuss. The off-seasson is too long for me, but it is coming to an end. More when i have something.

Thoughts on the Pens

Hey pens fans,
Well, Happy belated Birthday to Sidney Crosby, who is no longer a teenager. As for rumors, there is nothing much out there of any substance or that maks logical sense. The Pens seem to be holding for now. I do not think that Shero is done, though. I agree with a comment received on my last post that Marleau does not make a ton of sense, but again this is just a rumor and who knows how it will all play out. It has been very quiet, when it comes to the Pens. This season should be good, as all our young players grow into their roles and with the roster moves made thus far. I will have more rumors, when I hear something that sounds realativly sane from a reliable source.

Rumor

Hey pens fans,
The latest rumor is that Marleau may be coming to Pittsburgh.

I'm back, Staal, and scouts

Hey pens fans,
I'm back. Well, Jordan Staal was arrested for underage drinking in Minnesota, while atteding brother Eric's bachelor party. Eric was also arrested. No word on Jordan's current legal issues beyond that. The Pens hired two new scouts, as anounced by Ray Shero, Derek Clancey will serve as a Professional Scout and David McNamara as an Amateur Scout.

Vacation

Hey pens fans,
Your favorite Pens Blogger (I know it is a stretch) is going to a beach far away from the internet for a few days and will be back the beginning of August. Whatever breaks, dring my absence, I will post upon my return. Please feel free to coment and email, because I will read it all, when I get back.

Pens Sign Goalie

Hey pens fans,
The Penguins have signed goalie Ty Conklin to a one year deal.

Therrien

Hey pens fans,
Therrien signed to a contract extension through 2009.

Pens Ink Sid to a 5 year extension

Hey pens fans,
The Pens signed Sidney Crosby t0 a 5 year contract extensio worth approximatley 45 million. He also received a 5 million dollar signing bonus.

Thibault

Hey pens fans,
Thibault has signed with the Sabres. Don't worry about goalies though. Sabourin will be a solid back-up to Fleury. His states are equal to if not better than Thibault's, but he is younger and cheaper.
