Prior to puck-drop a week ago in Anaheim, Pierre-Olivier Joseph's phone buzzed. The 23-year-old Penguins defenseman could have guessed what the message said.
The gist of it: "Have fun. Keep smiling. And play for the passion of the game."
P.O.'s parents, Frantzi Joseph and France Taillon, have sent him pregame notes like that for years. Same with his brother Mathieu, a forward for Ottawa.
