Say it with me now with your hands on your nipples…
As you may know the Pens recently traded Dman Martin Skoula and Prospect Luca Caputi for Maple Leafs Left Winger Alexei Ponikarovsky.
1 goal off of a 20 goal season, Poni boy is currently putting up 41 points in 61 games.

It seems like forever since the Olympics began just two weeks ago, and yet the experience has flown by at the same time.
Tensions have been high between pens fans lately as our countries battled it out against one another and many are glad it’s over. But, with a disappointing finish for Russia, I think it’s safe to say that there will be some pressure from NHL players on Bettman to allow them to compete again in 2014.
number of view: 290Olympic men’s hockey is underway and so far the games have more or less turned out as expected. Maybe we thought Usa would have had a bigger lead, maybe we thought Canada wouldn’t have been held scoreless for the entire first period, maybe we thought Russia would post a shutout. At the end of the day we are left with the results of Usa, Canada and Russia posting their first W’s. Today’s victories went to Sweden (2-0 over Germany), Finland (5-1 over Belarus) and the Czech Republic (3-1 over Slovakia).
So far Crosby is on the top of the Guins Olympic points scoreboard with 3 ass. Geno is right behind him, recording 1 goal and 1 ass.
We are definitely being spoiled with all this hockey!!
number of view: 493The last couple games taking us into the break didnt hold the best results. An OT and SO loss still tallies up a couple points for the guins, but it never feels good to come that far and not pull out the W.
That being said, there is absolutely no time to dwell as players are being thrust into Olympic competition in less than 48 hours.
The planes have landed and the boys are in town.
For the next two weeks NHL foes will be united while team mates will be pit against each other fighting for honor, glory and gold.
The Athletes are ready.
The City is bustling.
The Protesters are lined up to crash the party.
The Olympics are here.
