PLAYERS: Ty Conklin,  Dany Sabourin
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins

Conkunh
Conks. The Conk-eror. The Conk-Blocker. Just a few of the names attributed to Ty Conklin. Over the past couple of weeks, he has earned the gratitude of Pittsburgh fans by posting a 7-0 record (2 shutouts), a 0.939 save percentage, and a 2.0 Goals Against Average (GAA). His remarkable play has displaced backup tender Dany Sabourin and eased the fears of Pittsburgh fans who watched in horror as Marc-Andre Fleury departed the lineup in early December for 6-8 weeks with an ankle injury. It is time to take a look at 3rd string goaltender Ty Conklin who has risen up out of the ashes of relative anonymity to become one of the key elements in the turnaround of the Pittsburgh Penguins season.

Penguins battle back for 5-4 win in Montreal

Via MVN  |  February 21, 2008
Let me state for the record that I still hate the decision to start Dany Sabourin in goal tonight for the Penguins. I don't care if the guy grew up in downtown Montreal (which he didn't), and played well the last time in Habs-land. Ty Conklin is the #1 goalie as of right now, the Pens had a day off before the game and another day off after the game, he should have been in goal tonight.
