CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Brian Boyle remembers what it was like to line up against Matt Cullen at the faceoff dot in a game.
"Particularly when he was here in Pittsburgh," Boyle recalled after Thursday's practice at the Lemieux Complex. "If you'd look at a sheet at the end of the game, it has your stats there. He'd find ways if he was losing (faceoffs) to tie him up, or he find ways that if he was winning them just to switch it up and keep a guy guessing."
With his playing days over, Cullen is now hoping to impart that wisdom onto the Penguins' current forwards.
