This is newest Penguin Alexei Ponikarovsky, a Ukranian-born 29-year-old we acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs last week:
This is my two-year-old niece’s reaction to seeing Alexei on a pre-game interview, his first as a Penguin:
That boy is cute. I’m going to marry him and I’m going to kiss him on the lips. [giggle]
We haven’t yet broken the news to her that he’s a married father of three.

And he scored in his first game as a Pen! He seems to be just what the Malkin line needs…all aboard the Ukraine Train!

Al Says:
From My Little Pony to My Little Poni… they grow up so fast.

DG Says:
Yes, but did you need to break it to US?

bucdaddy Says:
Uh-oh. She’s gonna be trouble when she’s 16. Maybe sooner. Hey, I called the Olsen twins when they were her age.

Cassie Says:
How cute is she? She has good taste

Jocks n’at

PA Girl in VA Says:
OMG TOO CUTE!!! But yeah, not cool to break the rest of our hearts. Next thing you’ll be sayin’ is that Sidney Crosby isn’t a virgin. Sheesh – at least I’ve got THAT dream to hang on to.

Pensgirl Says:
Hey, if one of those three is a boy, your niece is golden!
That boy is cute and he drives to the net. It’s the latter that makes me swoon.

Summer Says:
I have one question: Why is there not a shirtless Penguins players calendar?
-
Cass Says:
Between you and BurghBaby Pittsburgh is looking BETTER and BETTER.

Your cutie pie Niece sings the children’s song: Poni Boy, Poni Boy, won’t you be my Poni Boy? don’t say no, here we go, off across the plain. Marry me, carry me, right away with you, giddyup! giddyup! giddyup! WHOA! My Poni Boy!
*drives the net* yeah.

spoon Says:
If Summer gets a shirtless Pens calendar I want an AliMo one. fair is fair.
-
bluzdude Says:
The girl may have to adjust her definition of “boy”.
-
Summer Says:
@Spoon: The problem is … who do we approach to make these things happen? I don’t know if it is within Ginny’s power.
-
PA Girl in VA Says:
@CrashJK – You just made hockey sound even sexier! Oh it’s getting warm in here **hot flash**
-
unsatisfied Says:
c’mon — ginny helps gets shit done down in haiti.
so, a shirtless of select local tv newspeople should be, like, no problem….
-
unsatisfied Says:
“calendar of shirtless select local tv…..”
man, wordpress is actin’ bitchy with my comments lately….
-
spoon Says:
oh crud i just realized that it looks like I want a shirtless AliMo calendar. While that would always be a bonus I would settle for one of her… drinking a craft beer… in a hockey jersey.
-
unsatisfied Says:
does she also have to be eating bacon, too, spoonster?
-
CrashJK Says:
@PA Girl in VA…
Just think I left out all those other fun terms…spearing, crashing the net, in the crease, boarding, diving, 5 on 3 (!!!), cookie jar, soft hands, one timer, power forward, stick handling, stack the pads, deke….and finally…just for you…the FIVE HOLE ! hth

Johnny Says:

Poni looks like the older son from “Tool Time”
-
DG Says:
@ CrashJK Even Errey couldn’t help but talk about his “pipes”.
And, I’m with @PA Girl in VA in this one….

Dan (Not Onarato) Says:
@ #22 Johnny…come on man I just ate lunch!
I think I would like the Channel 4′s Amber Nicotra calendar
-
CrashJK Says:
@DG….yeah, I heard that comment from Errey, he’s constantly saying stuff that makes me scratch my head…even his 3 keys to the game reference on Saturday (right after the “pipes” comment)…K.I.S.S. turned into kept it simple stupid staggie…lmao or wait till he starts talking about someone’s big stick…

Eleanor's Trousers Says:
I think I could take your niece… he’s all mine, cute little girl.

@unsatisfied BACON! oh sweet jesus

Suz Says:
For some reason known only unto Him, God has historically not been very kind to the Russian people in the good looks department. He has, however, made an exception with Poni. Yum.

unsatisfied Says:
alimo, craft beer, 1 lb. of bacon, penguins hockey sweater = hawt.

JenOH Says:
Your niece is cute. Little kids are the best with the things they say.
-
PA Girl in VA Says:
@CrashJK: Know how some folks turn down the sound and just watch the TV? I may have to start just listening to the broadcasts (can’t see much under those pads & uniforms anyway). Nah, I love the game enough to pay for a season-long Center Ice subscription; the hot players are just a bonus. But I must admit, I still giggle a little bit whenever I hear someone say “poke check”

redram1 Says:
@26 Dan (Not Onarato)
I’d rather have a Stephanie Watson calendar myself. -
butcher's dog Says:
So why not a different hottie per month? Stephanie and Ali Mo for sure. Maybe Sonni Abata could make a comeback. Julie Bologna. Should not be too hard coming up with a dozen. And if “local media” expands to include bloggers, you all know Our Virginia heads the list to fill in any remaining months. My vote for her is February, covered entirely by strategically-placed hearts.
-
spoon Says:
@butcher’s dog – If Julie Bologna gets a month it better include the use of Thundersnow and natural disasters on the doppler
-
Summer Says:
I’m not quite sure how the conversation turned from hockey hotties to local media personalities, but it obviously has derailed.

During one of the recent blizzards they sent AliMo out in the snow to do the stupid live thing showing us it’s snowing, and she had on what I can only describe as Snoopy’s WWI flying ace helmet without the goggles.Um, hawt she was not.

Dan (Not Onarato) Says:
@34 Redram…

@35 Butchers Dog…yeah Ginny would have to be in the winter months…with the do-me boots and all
