Pittsburgh Penguins Kris Letang and Tyler Kennedy paid a visit to the KDKA-TV studios.
They were on "Pittsburgh TODAY Live" and the show began with questions about the team's championship DVD.

"I thought the video was great. I thought it really captured the team's emotions," Kennedy said.
But it wasn't long before Letang and Kennedy got some pointers from KDKA-TV Weatherman Jon Burnett and then it was their turn to do the weather.

They gave the forecast and when Letang took his turn, he even gave part of the forecast in French.
"I just now realized that it's a whole lot more romantic to listen to the weather forecast in French," Burnett said.
"I'm with ya - I could listen to in French all night long," PTL Host Kristine Sorensen said.
The players also tried out the anchor chairs and met some other penguins – from the National Aviary.
Letang: "I'm kind of scared a little bit."
Highfield: "He keeps moving closer to you."
Letang: "They look like they can bite really hard."
But it was the weather people seemed to enjoy most.
"They weren't intimidated by the wall or the cameras or anything at all and they were a blast," Jon Burnett said. "What's the weather wall after you've been up against the Red Wings?"
So could weather be a backup career?
"No, no I don't think so - I already got a text from a friend that told me to keep playing hockey instead of being a weatherman so I will listen to that," Letang said.
