We re extremely pleased to announce the appearances of these two all-stars, said Curve General Manager Rob Egan. Our fans have really enjoyed interacting with the Steelers and Penguins hertzcar rentals players we ve brought in the last few years and I m sure Antonio Brown and James Neal will take it up a notch because of the high level of success they ve had recently.
Brown, 23, played in all 16 regular season games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011 while going over the 1000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his short, two-year career. The Florida native was selected to his first Pro Bowl after the just-completed 2011 season, going in as a kick returner after averaging hertzcar rentals 27.3 yards/kick return and 10.8 yards/punt return (one for a touchdown).

Neal, 24, has scored hertzcar rentals 30 goals and racked hertzcar rentals up 57 points through 59 games played this season as the top-line left wing for the Penguins. A second round selection by the Dallas Stars in 2005, Neal came to Pittsburgh by way of a trade during the 2010-11 hertzcar rentals season when he was swapped along with Matt Niskanen to the Penguins hertzcar rentals in exchange for Alex Goligoski.
The Ontario native s 30 goals this season are a career-high in his four years in the NHL and he has exceeded the 20-goal plateau hertzcar rentals in each of his first four campaigns. Of his 30 goals this season, 13 have come on power play opportunities, tying him for the league lead in that category entering play on Monday. This past weekend, Neal signed a six-year, $30 million contract extension hertzcar rentals with the Pens that prevented him from becoming a restricted free agent on July 1st.
