AROUND THE NHL Martin Brodeur’s current elbow injury, which is expected to sideline the future Hall of Fame netminder for at least two weeks, has thrust former Penguin Johan Hedberg into the No. 1 job during his absence. Hedberg has shined for New Jersey during Brodeur’s absence, posting a 3-1 record from Nov. 22-27. Johan Hedberg Hedberg’s hot stretch included a 30-save shutout of Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals on Nov. 22 and an outstanding 40-of-41 save effort in a 2-1 shootout win over Philadelphia on Nov. 27. “He’s really playing confident now and he’s under control,” Devils head coach John MacLean said of Hedberg. “It’s great for him. He’s a great person and a great teammate. We’re happy to see it.”

MOOSE EARNS HIS ANTLERS

MODANO’S SEASON IN JEAPORDY The season of Red Wings’ forward Mike Modano is in jeopardy after the 40-year-old veteran underwent surgery on Nov. 27 to repair a severed tendon in his right wrist. Modano was injured when he was accidentally cut by the skate of Columbus forward R.J. Umberger on Nov. 26. No timetable for Modano’s return was provided by the Red Wings, although they did announce that the surgery was Mike Modano successful. Modano, who is in his first season with the Red Wings after spending 20 years with the Dallas Stars, hopes to be able to return in time for the postseason. Modano had two goals and eight points in 20 games prior to the injury.

THE RIGHT MOVE

Several eyebrows were raised when the Atlanta Thrashers announced during training camp that they were going to be moving offseason acquisition Dustin Byfuglien, one of the heroes during Chicago’s 2010 Stanley Cup march, from forward to defense. Sure, Byfuglien came to the National Hockey League as a defenseman, but his Dustin Byfuglien development the past few years had him being talked about among the league’s top power forwards. Thrashers head coach Craig Ramsay and general manager Rick Dudley are getting the last laugh as Byfuglien, 25, has not only thrived with the move, he has ranked among the NHL’s defensive scoring leaders the entire season. Byfuglien ranked third among NHL blueliners as of Nov. 28 with 21 points, with his eight goals pacing all defensemen. “To me, he’s got hands,” Ramsay told NHL.com. “He’s got a big body that battles and his enthusiasm makes up for lots — and playing with [Tobias Enstrom] probably doesn’t hurt him at all either because Toby’s got a great stick, tremendous composure, and together they’re a great pair because it’s vital.”

RON BURKLE Ron Burkle has now added a new arena — Pittsburgh’s CONSOL Energy Center — to his tremendous list of accomplishments in the business world. Burkle, widely recognized as one of the preeminent investors in retail, manufacturing and distribution industries, is in his 12th season as co-owner of the Penguins. Among Burkle’s many significant contributions to the Penguins was his role in negotiations for the new arena deal. Burkle founded the Yucaipa Companies in 1986 and has served as Chairman of the Board and controlling shareholder of numerous companies, including Alliance Entertainment, Golden State Foods, Dominick’s, Fred Meyer, Ralphs and Food4Less. Ron is co-chairman of the Burkle Center for International Relations at UCLA and is broadly involved in the community. He is a trustee of the Carter Center, the National Urban League and the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy. He has received numerous awards, including the AFL-CIO’s Murray Green Meany Kirkland Community Service Award, the Los Angeles County Federation Man of the Year and the Los Angeles County Boy Scouts Jimmy Stewart Person of the Year award.

MARIO LEMIEUX Mario Lemieux will always be remembered for the magic he created on the ice, but one of the crowning achievements of his remarkable business career came this season — the opening of CONSOL Energy Center, home of the Penguins and Pittsburgh’s new multi-purpose entertainment venue. Even before the reality of CONSOL Energy Center, Lemieux and coowner Ron Burkle had turned the Penguins into a premier NHL franchise. The Penguins have been named No. 1 in Fan Relations by ESPN the Magazine, sold out a team-record 166 straight games, sold out every suite for three straight seasons and established records for local television ratings, merchandise sales and website hits. Lemieux was one of the greatest players in NHL history from 1984-97 and 2000-06, winning six league scoring titles, three MVPs trophies and two Conn Smythe Trophies as playoff MVP, in addition to two Stanley Cups. A gifted centerman, he dominated play for parts of three decades. He retired in 2006 as the No. 7 all-time scorer in NHL history with 1,723 points. In addition to his legendary hockey accomplishments, he continues to oversee the Mario Lemieux Foundation for cancer research and neo-natal research and hosts its celebrity golf tournament, which has raised more than $8 million for charity. More information is available at mariolemieux.org. Mario, his wife Nathalie and their four children live in Sewickley. For extended bios please visit pittsburghpenguins.com 10

DAVID MOREHOUSE Pittsburgh native David Morehouse was named CEO of the Penguins in September and leads the team into an exciting new era at CONSOL Energy Center. Morehouse had served as team president since 2007, overseeing ticket sales, marketing, corporate sales, communications and brand development, as well as representing the team in corporate relations and governmental affairs. Under his leadership the Penguins have become one of the top organizations in professional sports — ranked No. 1 in Fan Relations and No. 5 overall as a franchise among 122 pro teams in North America by ESPN The Magazine. As team president, Morehouse implemented a brand strategy that featured a new commitment to marketing, fan interaction and community outreach, as well as a targeted focus on the team’s young fan demographic. Morehouse grew up in the Beechview section on Pittsburgh. He attended the Community College of Allegheny County and Duquesne University, and received a master’s degree in Public Administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. He and his wife, Vanessa, have three children and live in Bell Acres. For extended bios please visit pittsburghpenguins.com

RAY SHERO Ray Shero, 48, was named GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins on May 25, 2006. His fresh ideas and calm but firm management style helped transform the Penguins from a team that did not qualify for the playoffs in 2005-06 to one that reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2007-08 and won the Cup in 2008-09. One of his first acts as GM was to declare a goal of building a team that could compete for championships on a yearly basis. He revamped the team’s hockey operations staff and structure, upgraded professional and amateur scouting, added a team operations director and opened new lines of communication with the business side of the organization. Ray built his hockey sense and managerial style during 14 seasons as an NHL assistant general manager — six with the Ottawa Senators and eight with the Nashville Predators. Shero played college hockey at St. Lawrence University and was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1982. He spent seven years as a player agent before making the transition to the front office. The native of St. Paul, Minn. is actively involved with USA Hockey and is a member of the USA Hockey National Team Advisory Group. Ray and his wife, Karen, and their two sons reside in Upper St. Clair.

JASON BOTTERILL Jason Botterill enters his second full season as assistant general manager after being promoted to his current position on May 22, 2009 by general manager Ray Shero. As assistant GM, Botterill works closely with Shero on all hockeyrelated matters, including scouting, player development and contract negotiations. He also manages hockey operations and acts as GM for the club’s top-minor league affiliate, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. Prior to his promotion, Botterill, 34, worked two seasons as director of hockey administration with the Penguins. Before joining Pittsburgh, Botterill worked with NHL Central Registry and also scouted for the Dallas Stars. Botterill was a first-round draft pick (20th overall) by Dallas in 1994 and played 88 NHL games over six seasons with Dallas, Atlanta, Calgary and Buffalo. A native of Edmonton who grew up in Winnipeg, Botterill played four seasons at the University of Michigan, where he earned his MBA, and helped lead the Wolverines to the NCAA title in 1996. He also played for Team Canada at the World Junior Championships in 1994, 1995 and 1996, helping his team win gold medals in all three tournaments. He resides in Pittsburgh along with his wife, Andrea. For extended bios please visit pittsburghpenguins.com 14

DAN BYLSMA In just one-plus seasons behind the bench, Dan Bylsma has already become one of the most successful coaches in Penguins’ history. After being promoted to Penguins head coach in February 2009, Bylsma, 40, directed the team to its third Stanley Cup in franchise history — a feat previously accomplished by legendary coaches “Badger” Bob Johnson and Scott Bowman. In the process Bylsma became the 14th rookie head coach, and just the fourth in the past 50 years, to capture the Stanley Cup. Of those 14, only Montreal’s Al MacNeil (1970-71) took over mid-season. Bylsma played nine NHL seasons as a right winger with Los Angeles and Anaheim from 1995-2004. He played 429 NHL regular-season games, recording 19 goals and 62 points, and also played in the 2003 Stanley Cup Final with Anaheim. Bylsma was an assistant coach at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for two seasons from 2006-08 and was named head coach at the start of the 2008-09 season. He went 35-16-1-2 in 54 games with WB/S before being promoted to Pittsburgh. He played four seasons of college hockey at Bowling Green. Dan and his wife, Mary Beth, have one son and reside in the North Hills.

TONY GRANATO Tony Granato, 46, begins his second season on the Penguins’ coaching staff. Granato, among his many responsibilities, works with the Penguins’ forwards and penalty killing units. He oversaw the NHL’s ninth-ranked penalty killing group with an 84.1-percent success rate, and second best on the road at 85.3 percent. Prior to joining the Penguins, Granato spent six seasons behind the bench for the Colorado Avalanche and served two stints as Avalanche head coach from 2002-04 and 2008-09. Granato compiled a 215-104-17-16 record and led Colorado to a Northwest Division title in 2003. Granato played 13 seasons in the NHL with the NY Rangers, Los Angeles and San Jose. In 1997, he was the recipient of the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for overcoming a near career-ending brain injury. In 773 career games, the feisty forward posted 248 goals, 492 points and 1,425 penalty minutes. He appeared in 79 career postseason games and helped lead Los Angeles to a Stanley Cup Final berth in 1993. Granato played four years at the University of Wisconsin and was inducted into the Badgers’ Hall of Fame in 2000. Granato also played for the U.S. National team in 1987-88 and represented his country in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary. Tony and his wife, Linda, are the parents of four children and reside in the South Hills. For extended bios please visit pittsburghpenguins.com 16

OUR NEW HOME CONSOL Energy Center opened in August, 2010 as Pittsburgh’s new multi-purpose entertainment venue — home of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins as well as other professional and collegiate sports, concerts, children’s shows, skating shows and more. It replaces the old Civic Arena/ Mellon Arena, which had operated since 1961 and was home of the Penguins from their inception in CONSOL Energy Center represents an exciting new era for 1967. It was the oldest arena in the the city, the region and the Pittsburgh Penguins. National Hockey League. “CONSOL Energy Center represents an exciting new era for the city, the region and the Pittsburgh Penguins,” said David Morehouse, CEO of the hockey team. “With open concourses, comfortable seating, cutting-edge technology, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system, and an extensive array of food and beverage options, it is a spectacular symbol for the Pittsburgh of the 21st century.” CONSOL Energy Center was completed on time and under budget, thanks to the combined efforts of architectural firms Populous and Astorino; the owner’s representative, ICON; the construction company, PJ Dick/Hunt; and the excellent construction workers and skilled trade workers of Western Pennsylvania. The new arena seats 18,087 for hockey, 19,000 for basketball and almost 20,000 for concerts. It is a green building and is the first NHL arena to attain LEED Gold certification. Even before its doors had opened, CONSOL Energy Center landed commitments from shows that would have bypassed the old arena — the 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament first and second rounds, the 2013 NCAA Frozen Four, and back-to-back concerts by music legend Paul McCartney. McCartney, who first played Pittsburgh with the Beatles in 1964 but hadn’t performed here since 1990, christened the new arena with a grand opening concert on August 18, 2010. In its first season of operation, CONSOL Energy Center also will be home to the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena Football League — bringing indoor football back to the city for the first time in almost 20 years. A funding plan for the new arena project was completed in March, 2007, thanks to the combined efforts of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, among others. The Sports & Exhibition Authority owns the building on behalf of the city and county, and the Penguins have the lease. The new arena is managed by SMG, with Jay Roberts serving as general manager.

COMMUNITY UPDATE PROVIDING A THANKSGIVING FEAST WITH A SMILE The Pittsburgh Penguins players assisted the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in providing the fixings to make Thanksgiving a little warmer for 100 Hill District families. After practice on Tuesday, November 16, five Penguins players visited the Allequippa Terrace Community Center to distribute frozen turkeys and a variety of vegetables and fruit to disadvantaged families selected by the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Max Talbot, Brooks Orpik, Alex Goligoski, Paul Martin and Deryk Engelland not only gave their time, they also provided people who rely on the Food Bank with much welcomed entertainment and laughs. Once the food was safely stowed in the bags of the Hill District residents, the players took time to sign autographs, pose for photographs, and talk with many of the families. This marked the fourth year that Penguins players have distributed items for Thanksgiving meals to community centers in the Hill District. This endeavor is made possible by fan donations at the team’s annual Food Collection which is traditionally held in early November. The generosity of our fans truly does make the holiday season a happier time for many local families.

BUTLER VALLEY DAWGS SQUIRT 2 The one-on-one competition features Trent Lunden/Andrew Gorr from Allegheny against Will Meglio/Ben Studebaker from Butler Valley. You can also view this and previously shown competitions at pittsburghpenguins.com.

On Sunday, October 10, sixteen youth hockey teams from the Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (PAHL) in the Squirt age group (age 9 - 10) participated in a shootout competition at CONSOL Energy Center. The event was videotaped to be shown in episodes at Penguins home games. The first round of competition featured heats between two teams striving to advance to the next round. Sixteen teams fielded five skaters shooting against the opposing team’s goalie. After each team competition, an individual shooter and goaltender squared off against the opposing team’s individual tandem for a one-on-one competition. Each winning team and pair of individuals advanced to the next round of eight teams/tandems. The format repeated as teams and individual pairs advanced through the quarter-final heats to move on to the semi-finals. Robust competition marked the semi-final round for teams and individual tandems. The remaining two teams and individual tandems then had to “leave it all on the ice” in vying for the championship. Early in the second intermission of each Penguins home game the various heats in the competition will be featured. Enjoy each episode.

MIKE RUPP: GROWING UP A FOOTBALL FAN As a native of northeast Ohio — Cleveland, to be exact — Penguins winger Mike Rupp grew up a football fan. Why wouldn’t he? As a Cleveland Browns fan working and living for at least part of the year in Pittsburgh, Rupp has come up with a unique way to maintain the loyalties of his youth and still go along to get along in the here and now. He also roots, believe it or not, for the Steelers. “It’s kind of weird,” Rupp acknowledged. “I’ve kind of been disowned by my Cleveland friends for it, but I’m a casual Steelers fan, if that makes any sense. I live in Erie, and have for the last 10 years now, and that’s pretty much Steelers country. And the Browns for so many years haven’t had anything to root for after about Week Five, so I’ve tended to root for the Steelers. I like that brand of football.”

Mike Rupp brings a rugged attitude to his game every night.

Again, why wouldn’t he? The best description of the attitude Rupp brings to skating his wing every night is “rugged.” Why wouldn’t he appreciate the same type of approach on the gridiron, from the Browns and even from the Steelers? But Rupp doesn’t stop there. “On the same note, although it’s even more of an oxymoron, I like the Ravens, the way they play,” Rupp said. “The three teams that probably hate each other continued on page 47

the most, I like looking for those teams and watching them any time I can.” When Rupp attended his first football game the Ravens actually were the Browns. He can’t remember the opponent or the score but he remembers liking it, a lot. “I went to a game as a kid at old Cleveland [Municipal] Stadium,” Rupp recalled. “And then by the time I got to the age of wanting to go more often they didn’t have a team. And then I moved out of town to play hockey. But I’m always a Browns fan through and through and I’ve been following them for a long time. “I remember going to Cleveland Stadium, sitting up real high with my dad. And I remember the atmosphere, my dad kept covering my ears. And then I remember certain things happening where they were passing things down the whole section and guys were smokin’ and drinkin’. “It was an atmosphere where I was just kinda like ‘whoa,’ but it was cool to be there. That’s Browns football, that kind of toughnosed, rugged style. It was an experience.” Just as his appreciation for the Steelers has raised some issues with acquaintances back home, Rupp’s Cleveland heritage has

ruffled some feathers here in the home of the Penguins and Steelers. “A little bit,” he said. “But I have my Rashard Mendenhall jersey that I wore to game one this year against the Falcons. I’ll root for the Steelers, but when it’s Steelers-Browns it’s my Peyton Hillis jersey, for sure.” Rupp is already anticipating when he might get an opportunity to sport that No. 40 Hillis jersey at an actual sporting event. continued on page 48

continued from page 47

Although he’ll be busy playing for the Penguins against the Capitals on Jan. 1 in the Winter Classic at Heinz Field, there’s a chance he might be afforded some time off the following afternoon. That would be the day the Steelers are scheduled to visit Cleveland for the BrownsSteelers rematch. “I haven’t been to the new stadium,” in Cleveland, Rupp said. “I don’t know what our schedule is for Jan. 2 but hopefully I’ll be able to swing that.” One thing Rupp probably won’t incorporate at the game in the event he attends and interacts with any Steelers fans is trash-talk. At least not until the Browns offer a little more inspiration along those lines. “If they get to .500 then I’ll be a little more excited,” Rupp said. “That Colt McCoy shows a lot of guts. But as an organization every time you think they’re turning the corner there’s a setback, so I won’t say anything right now.” As for tonight, Rupp figures to be busy along with the rest of the Penguins engaging the Atlanta Thrashers. But at least a part of his heart will be back in northeast Ohio watching the NBA’s Cavaliers host a rather high-profile opponent. That would be LeBron James of the Miami Heat. “I don’t care what he did but he didn’t handle it right,” Rupp said. “That’s the other

date that’s marked on my calendar.”

Rupp hopes to make his first visit to the Cleveland Browns Stadium on January 2 to see the Browns-Steelers rematch. Mike Prisuta is the sports director for WDVE-FM and the sports anchor for “Jim, Randy & the DVE Morning Show.”

I feel

Ask a grieving child how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling and you may get a lot of answers. Or none at all. For many, finding the words to express their feelings can be difficult. But while finding the right words may not be easy, finding the right place to turn to for help can be. At the Caring Place, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here when grieving children need someone to listen, to talk, or to just sit and be. For more information about one of our peer support groups or to volunteer, call us today.

THE PENGUINS GAME VAULT DECEMBER 7, 1995 • PENGUINS 7, CANADIENS 5 CIVIC ARENA

The Pittsburgh Penguins were nearly unbeatable at the Civic Arena during the early portion of the 1995-96 season, owning a 9-2 record at their home rink prior to dropping the puck against the Montreal Canadiens on Dec. 7, 1995. However, picking up win No. 10 did not appear to be in the cards when the visiting Canadiens scored once in the first period and three more times within the first 14:17 of the second period to jump out to a commanding 4-0 lead. But if there was one thing the Penguins of the early ‘90s could do, it was fill up the net behind opposing goaltenders in a moment’s notice — especially with future Hall of Famers Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis and Jaromir Jagr comprising the roster. Lemieux, always impeccable with his timing, began the comeback charge by burying an unassisted goal behind Montreal netminder Pat Jablonski just 1:39 minutes after Turner Stevenson staked the Habs to a 4-0 lead. The Penguins and the home crowd built off the momentum Lemieux’s tally provided, as Tomas Sandstrom and Francis also scored to give the Penguins three goals within 1:43 to cut Montreal’s lead to 4-3 after 40 minutes. Tomas Sandstrom had two goals on the night to By the time the third period began, help the Penguins to a 7-5 win over the Canadiens. everyone had the sense it was only going to be a matter of time before the Penguins would do what seemed unthinkable about an hour earlier, and knot the game at 4-4. Finally, 6:17 into the final frame, and following great pressure by the Penguins to begin the period, Bryan Smolinski tied the contest by scoring his seventh goal of the season. The Penguins took a 5-4 lead six minutes later when Lemieux — who else? — beat Jablonski for his league-leading 25th goal of the season to give Pittsburgh a lead they would never relinquish. Francis and Sandstrom each added their second goals of the game later in the period to put an exclamation point on the Penguins’ comeback, before Montreal’s Valeri Bure added a meaningless goal with three seconds remaining to give the game its 7-5 final. Ken Wregget, who replaced an injured Tom Barrasso midway through the first period, picked up the win — the Penguins’ seventh in a row. Lemieux, who would go on to lead the NHL in both goals (69) and points (161) that season, extended his personal scoring streak to 10 games (9G-15A) with his two goals and an assist. Jagr, who had three assists, extended his scoring streak to 11 games (9G-13A).
