The Penguins: Seas

Penguins C Maxime Talbot left with a neck injury after being rammed face-first into the boards in the Toronto end while trying to deliver a check on Ian White late in the first. The Penguins disclosed no other details. Pittsburgh was 1-for-6 on the power play. Therrien switched up his lines, with last season's rookie of the year, Evgeni Malkin, playing with Crosby for the first time. Toronto won for the first time in three road games (1-1-1). The Maple Leafs began a stretch of six of seven on the road.

The penguins choose their mates.The process of parenting is not an easy one. Once the female delivers the large egg, the male gathers it into his abdomen. He then plants his feet to protect the egg from the ice below where he then stands there for two months. In howling gales, at temperatures far below zero, with no food or water, in total darkness, huddled together with the other fathers for warmth the male protects the precious egg. Meanwhile the females make the long journey back to the sea. The sea is even more distant, with the freezing environment.

After playing their previous five contests on the road, the Penguins returned home last Wednesday to face the Albany River Rats. Six different players scored in the 6-0 victory over the Rats, including Alexei Mikhnov, who recorded his first AHL goal. Jeff Deslauriers turned aside 17 shots in the victory to pick up his first AHL shutout and eighth win on the season.

Harder - Penguins are a type of flightless bird that spends most of its life in the sea. They seldom visit land except to raise their young. Penguins have short legs and tall, torpedo-shaped bodies. On land they are able to stand upright, and because of their stature, they walk with a waddle. They may appear awkward, but penguins actually walk about as fast as people. They ... climb rocky shores by hopping from rock to rock.

Prior to joining the Penguins, McLean played four seasons at Norwich University, leading the team in scoring each year. He recorded 212 points (118+94) in 115 career games with the Cadets and was a member of the 2003 Division-III National Championship team. He ... appeared in four games with Richmond (UHL) at the end of the 2004-05 season.

The long march to the breeding grounds is made single-file with the penguins scooting along the ice like a group of portly snowboarders. When they tire, the birds and their Belushiesque physiques get horizontal, sliding headfirst on ample bellies like wrong-way lugers. Instinct finally delivers them to the Pointe Geologie archipelago, where they sing — a kind of mechanized trilling — to find a mate with whom they remain monogamous for a single season.
