Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired winger James Neil and defenseman Matt Niskanen in a trade with the Dallas Stars in exchange for defenseman Alex Goligoski. I love this deal for the Pens. They got two young players for a player who has probably reached his plateau with the Penguins. Don't get me wrong, I loved Gogo, I have his jersey. He just would not flourish in the Pens system. The acquisition of Neil has Pens fans salivating. We finally have a winger to play along side Sidney Crosby. He is young and under contract and has scored at least 20 goals in each season. Imagine him with Sidney. Get well soon Sid. Watch out Flyers.
Let's go Pens

How about those Penguins?
How about the Penguins as of late? The critic in you might say that they stink because they have not won a low of games recently but that is not true in the least bit. They are playing some of their best hockey of the season with what they have. They do not have a big star right now. No Sidney Crosby, no Evgeni Malkin. Jordan Staal is iffy but he is definitely not a superstar. The Penguins are basically playing with a minor league team and they are still getting by. They are in solid playoff positioning. They are in fourth place which is home ice advantage if the season were to end today. They are 5 points ahead of the fifth place team, the Washington Capitals, who they play against tonight in a pivotal matchup. They are even in striking distance to the division rival, Philadelphia Flyers. Only five points back, the Penguins look to close that gap tonight.
There is some good news of sort. Chris Kunitz, Dustin Jeffrey, Mark Letestu are all skating and look to return to the lineup this week. Some other good news, Mike Comrie has begun some light skating after his hip surgery so he should be back in time for playoffs. People may say the Penguins do not have what it takes to go far in the playoffs this year but those people are doubters. The Penguins are looking to be very active at the trade deadline. They are looking for that scoring winger. They have space in the salary cap to accomadate one. The biggest acquistion though will in deed be getting Sidney Crosby back from injury. If he comes back and is half the player he was before he got injured, watch out. The Penguins are still a force to be reckoned with. I feel sorry for the team that has to play them in the playoffs.

3D Television is AMAZING
Have you ever seen a 3D TV? They are truly amazing! The picture just cannot be compared to any high definition TV. The funny thing is that the 3D TVs are high definition! Just imagine being at the game, that is what it looks like! You get such a close up view and at certain times, it looks like the people are coming right at you. I was at Sam's Club the other day and they have a 3D TV that you can look at and try the glasses on and I'm going to be honest, I was skeptical at first. Boy, was I proved wrong. They kept showing this promo for it and even regular movies looked really cool. Then they kept showing different plays from different sporting events. They showed one where there was a body check in a hockey game right in front of the camera and his face looked like it was in pain and it looked like he was going to fly out of the TV and land right there in the store. They showed another one where Snowboarder Shaun White just made his run and he sprayed snow right into the camera and I thought I was about to be covered with a blanket of snow. This TV is truly amazing.
These TVs use the same technology as a movie would use if they were to make a 3D movie. There is a special camera that needs to be used and it is bigger than a normal sized camera. Also, with the 3D TV, you have to wear the 3D glasses that the TV has to get the effect. I wish they weren't so much money or else I would have bought one right on the spot at Sam's Club. More and more are starting to come out so I'm sure the prices will drop eventually. If you have some money to spare, I recommend that you buy this brand new, amazing technology.
