Hey pens fans,

"NHL player in jail after assaulting cops in southern Ontario
TURKEY POINT, Ont. (CP) - A former Pittsburgh Penguins right-winger was Tasered and pepper-sprayed by police after allegedly assaulting three officers in a late-night brawl in southern Ontario.
Police say Ryan VandenBussche, who is now a free agent, hit one officer near the left eye, smacked another in the left ear, and tried to strike a third early Monday.
Police also allege VandenBussche threatened the life of one officer after the altercation outside a hotel in Turkey Point, Ont., southwest of Hamilton.
Ontario Provincial Police Const. Mark Foster says VandenBussche "apparently came to the rescue of a friend" who was being arrested.
VandenBussche, who lives in Norfolk County, south of London, Ont., is charged with three counts of assaulting a peace officer.
The 33-year-old is also charged with obstructing and/or resisting a peace officer, and uttering a threat to cause death or bodily harm.
He will be held in custody in a Brantford, Ont., jail until Thursday."
