I have no idea what any of that says, but they said Despres has been recalled on HFboards.

Bortuzzo and Despres are part of the future defense.

Quebecois defenseman Simon Despres will play the first NHL game of his career tomorrow with the Penguins (against the Caps)

5 years of high school french finally pays off!

I'm excited to see him play. I hope he lives up to his potential.

He should have been called up ahead of Picard anyway. Let's see what he can do - he has been playing much better over the past month after a slow start.

I'm looking forward to seeing him play.Glad the Pens are giving him a chance instead of tossing Picard repeatedly out there for our viewing pleasure.
