"It's a Great Day for Hockey"

Every year we mark the passing of "Badger" Bob Johnson.

He gave the team hope.

He led them to their first Stanley Cup Championship.

He taught us that "It's a Great Day for Hockey."

Feeling blue all over ...

The Pittsburgh Penguins unveiled this season's third, or alternate jersey, tonight at Dick's Sporting Goods in Robinson.

Long rumored to be blue and white like the uniforms worn to ring in the New Year in the outdoor game in Buffalo, but "slightly different." The difference? No Winter Classic Patch.

The Penguins will wear the jersey against Buffalo on November 15th for the first of 15 games in the new, but old, blue and white.

11 games have been decided, mostly at home, and four more dates need to be scheduled.

The last time the Penguins wore blue and white in Pittsburgh was January 27, 1980.
