The Penguins announced three alternate captains today before the season opener tomorrow night in Carolina. Veterans Mark Recchi and Gary Roberts will each sport the "A", while defenseman Sergei Gonchar will be holding it down for the defense. Roberts and Gonchar will also be sharing the alternate duties, with Gonchar wearing it for home games and Roberts wearing it on the road. If you look at the roster, these selections shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
With the team's home opener only two days away, Captain Sidney Crosby and Co-captain Mark Recchi each purchased suites at Mellon Arena for the Make-a-wish and Big Brothers/Sister organizations. Yet again another class act from the Penguins' staff and its players.
And finally, if you ever needed another reason to visit this site over any other, then let this be evidence. Personally, I considered this to be a waste of a webpage, but then again I'm not Yahoo! and I also give a crap about hockey. The staff at Yahoo! asked Ryan Whitney a few questions. Read it here.
If they were going to ask him about a favorite CD, perhaps they would have just been better off asking what his favorite cassette was. CDs are just as obsolete. I doubt any single player is going to carry a stack of CDs with them, when an mp3 player is clearly the easiest way for any traveling person to go. Stop in to your local retailer and buy one today!
