It blew my mind. Now, everything has come full circle.”The two Johnstown natives will be on the same field today during one of the Canadian Football League’s biggest games of the season.Hawkins is on the Montreal Alouettes roster as a rookie wide receiver. The former University of Toledo standout has worked hard to earn playing time and in recent weeks has proved he can be a productive part of Montreal’s offense.

In fact, he had never scored two goals in a game before Saturday night.Skoula scored his goals – one in each of the first two periods – and the Pittsburgh Penguins held off the Atlanta Thrashers in a 3-2 victory.

Bushee had no goals and one point in nine games this season after netting four goals and 23 points last season.

What’s surprising is he has a few left jabs and right hooks, too.Guerin ended Pittsburgh’s eight-game streak without a power-play goal by scoring in the first period, Jordan Staal scored short-handed and the Penguins wrapped up Anaheim’s winless four-game road trip by beating the Ducks 5-2 on Monday night.

The Bengals receiver’s implied message was that Pittsburgh would be playing catch-up after taking on Cincinnati.Guess what: He’s right.
