It's a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh

As the Pirates season begins to come to a close, as they will not make the playoffs it’s now the beginning of the Penguins season as they had their first preseason game at home last night. Many people love the Penguins especially since they have a lot of young stars that have been new to the team in the last decade. Think back ten years ago and think of the best player on the Penguins? A lot of people may not even remember that team they only can think of the current team and the past teams that had Mario Lemieux on them. Now all of the fans think of the young generation of stars the Penguins have beginning with Crosby, Malkin and Fleury but there are so many others the fans love to cheer for also! At the beginning of this season Crosby will not be playing as he is still sidelined from his concussion he got last season in January. Back on the ice though for the Penguins is Malkin who is just coming off of an ACL and MCL tear he had. It is huge for the Penguins to have at least Malkin back in the lineup because without their top two goal scorers it makes it much more challenging to win hockey games. Now in the second year of the new Consol Energy Center they just built fans are very excited for hockey season to be under way again. Go Pens!
