Brooks Orpik New Alternate Captain?

With Gonchar now gone to the Ottawa land, looking at the current Penguins roster its clear that new alternate captain hasn’t been officially named yet. If you think about possible candidates that have filled those shoes before two names come to mind right away, Brooks Orpik and Jordan Staal. Out of these two, Brooks Orpik is better fit hands down. Brooks Orpik is tenured veteran with the club, including WBS Pens he has been around  for 10 years now. He has shown time and time again his natural leader skills. Just last season when Pens were struggling its was Brooks Orpik who stepped up and urged the team to play better. Being part of the USA Olymic team is another plus on his resume. I think its safe to assume Bylsma will promote Brooks Orpik to fill the new alternative captain position.

Alternate Free Candy!

“If you have five dollars and Brooks Orpik has five dollars, Brooks Orpik has more money than you!”

A while back i did a post on Geno’s dog. http://penshead.com/2009/12/07/does-evgeni-malkin-have-a-dog/ I got some quality pics of his dog but unfortunately i couldn’t find its name anywhere. Today i stumbled upon a russian video about Evgeni dated back 13/07/2009. In this video at approximately 4:33 the reporter says,  ”… after press conference Malkin quickly left to get back home where his family was waiting along with his favorite pet Bordeauxdog named Jeffrey.”

Not fully sure on the origins of the name but here is the video … enjoy!
