For one day at least, you could call the Pittsburgh Penguins the Big Pens.
Recently retired Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made an appearance at Penguins practice on Saturday and posed for a picture with captain Sidney Crosby, forward Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Kris Letang. The Penguins shared the photo on social media and posed the question if the veteran of 18 NFL seasons was making hockey his next endeavor.
Roethlisberger was in full gear for the photo, complete with stick and even had a No. 7 decal on his helmet. Listed at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, Roethlisberger, nicknamed "Big Ben," certainly has the size to be a power forward, intimidating defenseman or extra-large goalie.
