"Again"



Training camp starts today at 9 a.m. You better be in shape.(Please visit the site to view this media)We could so see Janne Pesonen saying, "Janne Pesonen! Suomussalmi, Finland!"There's a lot of questions for Michel Therrien to answer. Is Jordan Staal a power forward on the wing? Where do Ruslan Fedotenko, Miroslav Satan and Pesonen fit in? What do they do with the 293/nhl-caliber defensemen on the roster? Is Dany Sabourin capable of being the backup goaltender full time (if that makes sense)? Will that Dunkin' Donuts advertisement still be on the ice?We begin to find out today.EMPTY NETTER ASSISTSPenguins-Training camp won't last that long for the Penguins.-The Penguins beat the Senators 3-1 in the Kitchener, Ont. rookie tournament.-Goon Aaron Boogaard had three fights in the tournament.-Forward Casey Pierro-Zabotel has almost as many options as he has names.
