Wonderful World
A brand new Stanley Cup champions banner will be raised to the very old Mellon Arena rafters during the Penguins' Oct. 2 season opener against the New York Rangers.
Since the NHL released the regular-season schedule Wednesday, the planning has begun for the Penguins' opening-night ceremonies. Team vice president of communications Tom McMillan said other than the date, no other details have been finalized.
It could be a night filled with mixed emotions as the Penguins and their fans celebrate their third Stanley Cup victory and cherish the final season-opener at Mellon Arena.
...
The conference and division championship banners also will be on display along with a scoring title banner, which will include center Evgeni Malkin's accomplishment from this past season.
They'll hang from the 48-year-old building until at least April 8, when the Penguins will play their last regular-season game -- against the New York Islanders -- at Mellon Arena.

Does anyone else find the division championship banner confusing?
Maybe it's just the summer and we're tired.
Someone please explain.
These have been sitting in our Gmail for a while:
I naturally assume Ray Shero is an avid reader of my blog as one day after I postulated on the impact of losing two stay-at-home blueliners in Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi, the Pens GM inked Jay McKee to a bargain deal of $800,000 for one year.
McKee, who was bought out of the final year of his contract with the Blues, remains one of the league’s premier shot-blockers – he was seventh in the league with 185 in 2008-09 – and is arguably an upgrade over the two departed defensemen…for far, far less.
Malkin or Jagr?
Which team has the fiercest website?
What was the most memorable moment of the playoffs?
