Good morning one and all,
The Pens had an informal skate yesterday at the UPMC/Lemieux complex in Cranberry, after which Crosby and Malkin departed for the NHL media tour in Toronto. The linked podcast has a full recap of player interviews from day 1. [USA Today]
Halfway through the Pens skate, the most anticipated acquisition in recent memory showed up, as Phil Kessel stopped by to watch his future teammates skate. [PPG]
Geno predicts 50 goals for Kessel at least if he and Crosby form the kind of chemistry that he thinks they can have.
