For those that haven't heard, Miro Satan and Jordan Staal are soccer stars. The Penguins held a limited practice at Southpointe's Iceoplex this afternoon. Instead of lacing up on the familiar ice side of the rink, they kicked around a soccer ball on the turfed side. From the sounds of things, Miroslav Satan and Jordan Staal are quite the footballers.
While I think playing a variety of sports is always a good idea, I don't think putting your star player and injured captain in a soccer net is particularly smart. According to friends that were at the practice, Sid had a noticeable limp and probably should have omitted practice today. I didn't hear whether or not he was being an aggressive goaltender, but hopefully Staaly was scoring so many goals (5) because The Kid was standing still. Oh well, all is good.
Most of you already know that the Pens will be "unveiling" their 3rd jersey for this season. You also will 
already know that it is the familiar powder blue jersey Sid and his crew wore in 2008's Winter Classic shootout thriller. The unveiling is taking place at Robinson Mall's Dick's Sporting Goods. Be there Wednesday (5 November 2008) from 6:00 to 8:00pm to witness the event. On hand will be players models Letang, Kennedy, Goligoski, Bissonnette and Godard. I am going to do what I can to be there for the event (taking pictures of course), but would love to know if some of you readers are going to make it out there. Toss me an email at Penstation.Blog@gmail.com and let me know who's going to be there.
Let's Go Pens!
