Penguins sign Ehrhoff: Ehrhoff 'excited to play with Crosby and Malkin'

Former Buffalo Sabres defenseman Christian Ehrhoff is enthusiastic about joining his new teammates with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Ehrhoff's excitement is a stark contrast to his demeanor in Buffalo, where he often appeared listless and the team revealed he no longer wanted to be there upon buying out the remaining years of his 10-year contract.

Who knew moving from a rebuilding, basement-dwelling team to a perennial playoff contender with two of this generation's greatest offensive talents could be so reinvigorating?
