Wrestlemania Got An Early Start At Today's Penguins-Flyers Game

Jakub Voracek Used To Have Cognitive Abilities, Until Niklas Kronwall Exploded Him
Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek skated directly into a Kronwall, which, from the point of view of physics, isn't much different from skating into a brick wall.
