Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Colorado)

PRACTICE
The Penguins had Monday off and returned to practice yesterday at the Iceoplex at Southpointe and the crowd that showed up was entertained by Bill Guerin who found a microphone and began to "emceeing" the practice and the webpage took note of some of his more memorable lines:
"Eric Godard, a seven-time all-star"
"Martin Skoula slows it down"
"Max Talbot...you all know what he can do"
"Here comes Jay 'Cheese' McKee"
I would've loved to been there to enjoy that!! One of the things that makes the Penguins so likeable as a team is their sense of humor and the way they are interact / feed off of one another.

LINE COMBINATIONS (projected)
Talbot-Crosby-Guerin
Dupuis-Malkin-Fedotenko
Rupp-Staal-Kennedy

I just love having Guerin on the team. I know he's getting older and by hockey standards he could have retired, but I'm so glad that he decided to stick around for this year at least. I'm hoping he'll come back again next year....we'll see. He's a great guy.
