After two wins in the first two games of the tournament, the Pens rookies only had a practice yesterday.
Now they're back at it and ready to finish strong.

Dustin Jeffrey has been the star of the tournament so far.
Eric Tangradi, the star of rookie camp, is right behind him with a two impressive performances.
Zach Sill and Geoff Walker have solidifed their spots as WB/S Penguins already.
Further down in this post, read about a possible feud occuring between Tangradi and a Chicago rookie.

The standout on the D side has been Reid McNeill. Pretty impressive being that this is his first pro experience.
Brad Thiessen continues to make a name for himself in net, as well

Chicago's roster:


Some of you may remember this incident from from the '08 World Junior Hockey Championships:


If you hadn't noticed, that's Tangradi clipping Chris DiDomenico in the face,
after the Canadian player started showboating in front of the US bench.
He plays for Chicago.

DiDomenico got embarrased on national TV. They haven't played each other since.
It's entirely possible that he's forgotten about the stick to the chin.
Or there's a chance that he's been champing at the bit to get revenge for it.
No clue what's gonna happen.
