The Pens continue their informal pre-camp workouts. All of the birds have now flownwaddled back to the nest as defensemen Kris Letang (without the hair so there goes his skill) and Simon Despres have joined the rest of the guys this morning at Consol.
Five questions with Sidney Crosby. Every time I read or listen to a Sid interview I remember the jokes from the lockout days when the NHL podium had its own twitter account.
Yesterday was the fun day for Pens season ticket holders as the players were out and about delivering season ticket packages. A lot of them ended up playing hockey with fans, including Sid. This is a great tradition and I’m glad it survived the regime change. Geno best.
Ten Pens observations entering training camp from Josh Yohe. Most important of all being that Olli Maatta looks to be ahead in the rehab of his surgically repaired shoulder injury. I still don’t think they should rush it.
Pens writers and bloggers got together to give us a season preview. I really like when they do these.

Hockey's Future catches up with Pens prospect Tom Kuhnhackl. Another one with Scott Harrington. Great stuff there.
The Blackhawks prospects finished their rookie tournament 0-3 but there were some highlights, like this ridiculous pass from Teuvo Teravainen.
The PensNation Bag Skate Tuesday includes our James Conley as well.
