Welcome to Thunder Bay

Hola Amigos,

The latest, and in my opinion, greatest addition to the Penstation team has just signed and finalized his contract to write here on the same day as Jordan Staal commits to the city of Pittsburgh through the 2012-2013 season. ESPN.com Pierre Lebrun reports that the deal is worth $16 million. Although this deal is not as lucrative as my own, there will be very high expectations for the rising star. Last game we saw Staal playing center, as well as winging the first line with Sidney Crosby. Sid could provide Staal with the much needed offensive confidence that has been lacking since the Red Wings game, and truthfully since his rookie season.
The Pens fly into Nashville this evening to take on the Predators in hopes of continuing the momentum they gathered from bullying the Thrashers on Tuesday. The puck drops at 8 pm and can be viewed on FSN. Lang and the ole 29er will be gracing the radio airwaves on 105.9 the x.

Andy at the Penstation
