PPG Paints Arena is not the venue where Ben Roethlisberger did his best work.
No surprise there, since hockey was not his sport.
Nonetheless, when he turned up there Tuesday evening to conduct a ceremonial faceoff before the Penguins faced the Rangers, Roethlisberger looked very much at home.
Perhaps because the reception he got from the crowd was as warm as any he ever received at Heinz Field.
Roethlisberger, wearing jeans and a Penguins sweater emblazoned with No. 7, got a standing ovation as he walked to center ice from the runway that leads to the Penguins' locker room.
