It's been awhile...

Hey Pens Fans,

Sorry, my posts have been so few recently. I have had some things occur in my life that hindered it a bit, but I hope to be back to keeping up on the latest, as in the past. I want to thank eveyone, who posted comments and info on my posts to keep everyone informed. Right, now the only Penguins related story not posted in some manner is that last week Ryan Whitey had surgery to correct his "out of line" foot, as the orthodics were no longer helping. Everything went well from what I heard, but there is no official timetable for his return, as of yet. That's about it for now...

All is Quiet

I know it seems like it has been forever since I have last posted, but all has been fairly quiet in the world of the Pens. The last major announcement was that of Therrien's 3 year deal and that almost all of the season ticketholders renewed their tickets. That is really it. As the off-season excitent dwindles post draft and UFA day, there is less to discuss in the world of the NHL. Next season is shaping up to be one of promise with the way we finished. I know that the players we lost are of a large concern to everyone, but I do think that Shero and his staff are doing a great job of filling the gaps or at least it looks like that on paper. Only time will tell how the chemstry works. This is the hardest part. The wait...
