Kovacevic: Time to 'attack this second half with a whole lot of energy'

BOSTON -- "There it is!"

Kasperi Kapanen's voice boomed those three words loud enough to bounce throughout Warrior Ice Arena. It was early Monday evening, the Penguins were halfway through a strikingly spirited practice at the Bruins' facility, and Kapanen had achieved in that singular moment ... a pretty nice pass on a two-on-one drill. Backhand-saucered the puck over Mark Friedman and onto the blade of Jeff Carter, and it plopped right into place.

That was it. That was Kapanen's cue to shout.

Or was it?

Because in the next split-second, by the time Carter had gone bar-down over Casey DeSmith's glove, Kapanen had already started skating in the other direction with a playful nod of his head.
