In case ya missed it, a few teams may be interested in one Petr Sykora. [Two stories down]

You know the season is getting closer when teams open up prospect camp. The Pens will do just that on Saturday. [Penguins]

If prospect camp wasn't good enough, we may actually have some real hockey stuff to cover next week. Ya know, like the prospect tourney up in Kitchener. JB from Citizens Voice gives us a roster breakdown. [Citizens Voice]

Ever wonder about the dos and dont's regarding jersey fouls? Look no further. Empty Netters offers up the Jersey Foul Bill of Rights Amendments. Give it a read and learn how to treat your fellow Pens fan who wears a Luc Robitaille jersey to the game. [Empty Netters]

Uh, Alex Ovechkin has a new tattoo. Maybe. He's very discrete about it. No one knows what it means. See for yourself. [Puck Daddy]

Imagine standing in a hallway outside a board room filled with people voting on whether or not you'll still have a job tomorrow. That's what happened to Paul Kelly, now the former executive director of the NHLPA. Not only was he voted out, but it was announced that those who agreed on his removal were "overwhelming" compared to those who didn't. Eesh. [From the Rink]

Ovechkin

Trust Ovechkin to think his ass is news…

The summer ain’t that long buddy.

Can't improve on that.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to laugh today, and then I saw that tattoo.

At least we know the Chinese for “attention whore” now.

It’ll be interesting to see where Sykora goes. (Please not the Flyers, please not the Flyers…)

Hockey’s coming back soon! Yay!

The jersey etiquette (seems like a weird word to use, but it fits) can be confusing for new fans. I was fortunate enough to have longtime puckheads around me to patiently explain why I’d embarrass them if I went out that way; otherwise, I’d have embarrassed myself and other Penguins fans a hundred times over. That article is needed!

As for Paul Kelly…wow, harsh!

Luckily I’ve only ever worn my Mario jersey, Sid jersey or plain black Pens jersey to games. I don’t have one that violates any of the jersey fouls, although I can potentially do so if I decided to tuck my Jagr jersey in.
