CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Mark Friedman was in a great mood on Monday.
He strutted into the press conference room at the Lemieux Complex with a big grin on his face.
"Are you guys happy?" he asked. "Two more years of me!"
Friedman was still all smiles over his two-year, one-way contract extension that he signed with the Penguins on Sunday that carries an average annual value of $775,000.
Friedman said that he woke up yesterday morning to a missed call from his agent, and promptly called him back and heard the good news that the Penguins were making the offer.
