And lastly, my favourite

"He looks unbelievable," they commented.

Letang really has been aging like a fine wine, with Chaimberg shaking his head at how the Penguins defenseman is showing virtually no signs of slowing down at 34 years old.

"It's crazy," Chaimberg said. "He's always been the standard, but your standard when you're 24 years old is one thing. Now he's already a six-time All-Star and three-time Stanley Cup champion, and it's just unreal that he is almost getting better.”

And not only is Letang looking incredibly strong - he is feeling incredibly motivated. He is entering his 15th full NHL season hungrier than ever to help the Penguins have success amidst the challenge of starting the season without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

"Every single thing I tried to accomplish in the summer, or in the season - which could be video or sitting down with (assistant coach Todd Reirden) and working on different things - is all just to accomplish one goal, and one goal only," Letang said. "To win games and win a championship. So I'm excited again. I've said for the last 15 years that when you have a guy like Sid or a guy like Geno on your team, it's pretty hard not to think that you're a Cup contender.

"Obviously, at the start of the year, we don't have those guys. But as soon as you see those names on your roster, you have to believe that you're going to go far, and you're going to try to win this."

"Honestly, I've been treated really well by our team," Letang said. "(Penguins co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle) have almost treated me like a son. So I put my body, my health on the line. And I'm always going to do it. It's just part of my work. There's nothing I want more than winning for the city, for the organization, for my teammates. I don't want anything other than that. That's the only thing I wish. I'll do anything."
