Pens staying in Pittsburg?

The NHL team's partner in a proposed $1 billion US development at the site of Mellon Arena has ponied up $290 million for a new 18,000 arena, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The development, which also would include offices, residential units and retail space, is contingent on winning a licence for the city's slot machine casino.

It seemed like they were destined to move, so this is great news. Let's hope it works out.

I can't believe the Pens were not more competative this season with the talent they had. Guess they "pulled a Bruin" too.

They'll have better luck next season, especially if Malkin comes to the NHL. He was impressive in the Olympics for Russia. Big kid with a nice shot. Plus the Pens will get a nice draft pick this summer.

Yeah Malkin was scary good. I hope the Pens are able to stay, the last I heard it wasn't good though.
