A little over a week after the Pittsburgh Penguins signed him to a new 2-year contract, Tyler Kennedy's actions spoke volumes about the decision. Kennedy scored the first goal in the Penguins' season opener against the Ottawa Senators in Stockholm less than a minute into the game. He followed up by stripping the puck from Jason Spezza and getting the game winning goal with less than a minute to go in sudden death overtime. The goal averted a shootout and gave the Penguins a 4-3 win.

Jason Spezza is one sneaky S.O.B.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday:

Senators acquire headcase Comrie in exchange for headcase Kaigdorov

After losing out on Petr Nedved, the Senators have acquired the center that they have been wanting, with the absence of Jason Spezza and Mike Fischer due to injuries.
