Eric Staal scored two first period goals in the Carolina Hurricanes' 4 - 1 decision over then Pens. Mark Recchi scored the only goal for the Pens on a power play late in the third.
The Pens didn't look great out there last night, but that's not to take away from Carolina's defense and Cam Ward's unbelievable play. They were all over the loose pucks the Pens were leaving all over the ice, creating turnovers on our multitude of bad passes, blocking shots and smothering Crosby and Malkin every time they went over the boards.
The Ducks fell to 1 - 3 last night with a 4 - 0 shellacking by the Columbus Blue Jackets (you know, the "We're the only team in the NHL to never make the playoffs" Columbus Blue Jackets). Something tells me they won't be happy when they roll in to the Igloo tonight. Let's hope for a better showing from the Pens for the home opener.

Training camp schedule announce, 2 Pens make a bid for their old Junior team
The NHL has released the schedule and location of training camp for all teams.
The Pens will take the ice at Southpointe from September 13 - 16, and will shift to the Igloo from the 17th until the start of the season.
Mark Recchi and Darryl Sydor were in Kamloops, BC recently to meet with the board members of the Kamloops Blazers, where they played Juniors, to represent their group in making a bid to purchase the team. (Thanks to Mirtle for pointing this out). Their group also includes former Blazers Jerome Iginla and Shane Doan. Great to see current NHLers remembering where they came from and wanting to stay involved so the next generation has the same opportunities.
In other NHL news, the Hockey News has reported that Teemu Selanne is leaning towards calling it a career. After finally winning the Cup with Anaheim last season, the Finnish Flash feels he'd rather go out on top than put in a couple more seasons.
