The Pittsburgh Penguins unfortunately for e real good Ottawa Senators Team have bigger fish to fry as they eliminate the Sens with a resounding 6-2 smack down in the 'Burgh on Friday. Penguins Left Winger James Neal just missed a Hat Trick in Game 4 in Ottawa get one tonight. He has been blazing hot as have the Pens. Defenseman Kris Letang adds to his Ice Games Winning time Points lead with 17 points adding three more tonight. Pens Net Minder Vokoun stopped 29 of 31 shots on goal.  The Pens now await the winner of the Blue Shirts and Spokes Series. Will that be a Career for Sens Great Right Winger and Swede Daniel Alfreddson?

The New Orleans Saints many believed were going to send SS Roman Harper packing after drafting Hookem' Horns U Saftey Kenny Vaccaro 1st round. Well the Saints thought process was Two Top Flight Vet Safties and Rookie Safety is better than a Vet and a Rook only. New Saints D-Coordinator will most likely use Harper in the Box, play Rook Vaccaro at Free Safety, and put Jenkins (a converted Safety in the Pros from Corner at The Ohio State University) as a Nickel Corner. Excellent move for the Saints as that back end is the strength of their "D".  Now Rook Vaccaro can learn from both Safeties and won't get put right into the fire.

The SAn Diego Chargers lose 2nd year 1st Round Pick of 2012 OLB Melvin Ingram to a Torn ACL suffered in OTA's and he will most likely be out for 2013. Ingram was coming on and fighting Vet OLB and Former Raven Jarrett Johnson for that Left OLB Slot. Now the Chargers signing of DE/OLB Dwight Freeney looks like a stroke of genius. Playing behind Johnson will be former Carolina Panther Thomas Keiser of Stanford.
