One, which "nation" does the National Hockey League refer to? The 6 original teams were in both Canada and the US. I'm guessing it was just supposed to cover for both countries.
Two, why is the skate the penguin on the Pens logo is wearing a figure skate and not a hockey skate?

That looks to me like the old-style blade that skates used to have. |

True. I guess it's the old blades, I was thinking that too, but it's hard to tell. |

quote: From NHL.com:
At its inception, the NHL boasted five franchises- the Montreal Canadiens, the Montreal Wanderers, the Ottawa Senators, the Quebec Bulldogs, and the Toronto Arenas.
The original 6 is not really the original 6, but more like the six that have been around the longest I guess.
