Hear Alexei Ponikarovsky’s Post Game Comments…
I had a chance to catch up with Alexei Ponikarovsky post game. I got the low down on his conditioning after not playing for three weeks and his injury that occurred this afternoon.

The two two teams just faced off and we are about a minute into the game.
Marc Andre Fleury is in the nets for the Penguins, while Tim Thomas is in for the B’s. Former Penguin Dany Sabourin is serving as the back-up for Thomas. Could he get into this game?
This team has shown an ability to catch fire when the games count the most, at least over the past 4 seasons.

However, do not let those records fool you, as the Stars are in the hunt for a playoff spot and find themselves sitting just 4 points out the eighth and final spot.
It seems that Canadian Olympic Hero, Sidney Crosby has been tabbed as the Olympic athlete who has generated the most online chatter.

Well, the trade deadline has come and gone and Ray Shero has again plugged the holes that he felt were in his line-up. The great thing for the Penguins is that he did it without losing a single roster player. Anytime you can add significant assets to your team without weakening your NHL line-up, you…
