	MAILBAG Brian Cazeneuve will periodically answer questions from SI.com users in his mailbag. Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question:

In response to our list of hockey's colorful names that ran on Dec. 27, SI's Michael Farber adds the All-College Team:

Colby Armstrong, Bates Battaglia, Norm Beaudin, Dave Brown, Donnie Marshall, Steven Rice, John Davidson, Adam Creighton, Martin St. Louis, Jerry Butler, Wendel Clark, Red and Rob Conn, Herb Dickenson, Bob McGill, Dave Reid, Bobby Smith, Tiger Williams, Gary Simmons, Nelson Emerson, and Len Wharton.

Any group such as that could surely use a Dean McAmmond to look after its membership, which could also include a scholarship in the name of Damian Rhodes.

Here are some of your suggestions, and my responses:

From Eero Iloniemi, Helsinki, Finland: Why was Hall-of-Famer Jari Kurri not on the tasteful players list?

Well, Eero, he was paired with Steven Rice.

From Steve Ohara, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada: I don't know which category this would fall under, but how did they ever fit Sheldon Kannegeisser's name on a jersey?

Withextrastretchfabric.

From Ted Dahlman, Tulsa, OK: How about Paul Coffey and Rob Blake as a relaxing defensive pairing? Or Mike Peca and Dody Wood as a pair of offensive penalty killers?

The Flyers have taken a number of coffey blakes this season. And chop chop on your second pair.

From Jason Apple, Champlin, MN: How can you possibly do an article on hockey names without mentioning the best EVER: Zarley Zalapski. Nothing beats that!

Not even an Apple who is true to the core.

From Marvin Elson, Livonia, MI. Do you believe in Norm Maracles?

Have you been hanging out with Al Michaels?

From  Anonymous: How about Mike Ricci, Joe Reekie, Mark Recchi, Bryan Ritchie and Glenn Resch?

Ricci, Reekie, Recchi, Ritchie and Resch sounds like a law firm.

From Dominic W., Ottawa, Ont. You missed Larry Goodenough of the 70's Canucks. My hockey card told me his nickname was Izzy.

Yes, but Wuzzy good enough?

And on that note, let's bring out the regular mailbag:

From Shawn Dickerson, Pittsburgh, PA: Do you think there is any way the Penguins will stay in Pittsburgh?

It could still happen, even though the crucial $290 million casino/arena deal fell through. Mario Lemieux is still exploring ways to keep the team where it is, but I doubt that he and his ownership group were merely posturing while visiting Kansas City this week.

Lemieux spent some magical seasons in Pittsburgh and passed the torch gracefully to Sidney Crosby last year, but money talks. K.C. has offered the franchise a chance to play rent-free in the new Sprint Center, which is still in search of a major client. (Does anyone remember that the Devils are the Kansas City Scouts twice removed?) Houston, Winnipeg and Las Vegas have been mentioned as suitors, too. All things being equal, the Pens would stay put, but unless a private investor jumps in or the city can find a way to ease the inevitable financial burden on the team, equality may be a stretch.
