Dear Penguins,

The counter-proposal does not fit in the Kings plans. We would like to acquire young defensemen to go with Jack Johnson in the future. Hold on have to get back to you on that, Nashville just called...

Dear Kings,

We wish you all the luck in the world in your development of Jack Johnson in the next few years. We'd like you to do you best with him, so as to get him completely up to speed by the time he hits free agency and bolts to play with his best buddy Sid.

Warmest Regards,

Ray Shero
General Manager, Pittsburgh Penguins

Dear Penguins,

I would like to thank you for passing up on the trade for Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson is getting bored playing in the College ranks and will join the Kings in the near future. Jack Johnson is excited to play with his idol Rob Blake soon. To show the Kings gratitude for allowing us to have a chance to trade for Jack we included with this letter is a gift basket full of fruits, chocolates, and fine wine. Enjoy!


Sincerely,

Dean Lombardi
President of Kings Hockey

What a nice glide by Sid and shot...I think he'll get credit for that goal too.

A goal and 2 assists for Sid so far tonight.

Geno Malkin with 3 assists I believe.

I get like 7-8 NHL games every week, including the CBC HNIC Doubleheader, but it pisses me off they mainly show teams from the East Coast and CBC seems to have the Leafs on HNIC every ****ing week.

Some nice saves by the Flower. He's done a solid job, tonight.

That sucks, Jens. You know, I think google is starting to put a bunch of live games on in their video section, so maybe that is another way you can watch the Avs.

[SoCalBronco]

7-1.

Malkin with another assist. That's 4 for him.

[Jens1893]

Shock! Horror! Pens add another PPG.

[SoCalBronco]

Stupid dumbass Whitney.

You can have his pathetic ass right now, 24champbailey.

[SoCalBronco]

Malone scores...Malkin with another assist. 8-2.

5 assists for Malkin.

Malkin >>>>>>>>>> Kopitar

[SoCalBronco]

The Leafs are resorting to thuggery because the Pens are skating circles around them. What a surprise.

Must be nice to play with Staal and Crosby...if only Kopitar had the same kind of talent to play with.

Well thats what usually happens in the NHL when you blow a team out.

Suck for long enough and you too can do this.

Score one for the goalie

Sidney Crosby doesn't often get shown up by a goalie.

Or as a goalie.

Both happened after a practice last week, however, when Crosby borrowed Marc-Andre Fleury's glove, blocker and stick and faced breakaways from a few teammates.

One was Fleury, who scored in rather spectacular fashion, as he cruised down the slot, then executed a spin-a-rama as he approached the net and flipped a backhander behind Crosby.

"I wanted Sid to know what it feels like to get scored on," Fleury said, smiling broadly. "I just stuck it in his face."

The final indignity for Crosby: Fleury scored the goal while using Crosby's stick.

It wasn't all bad for Crosby, though. Fleury said it was apparent that Crosby has spent a little time in goal, if only while playing street hockey.

"He has some decent technique," Fleury said. "You can see he's worked on it."

Fleury, by the way, likes to play up front when competing in pickup games, although he acknowledged that he doesn't expect to supplant Crosby as the No. 1 center.

"That's a big step for me," he said.

By the same token, Crosby isn't likely to take over as the go-to goalie. Not immediately, at least.

"You never know with that guy," Fleury said. "But maybe not this year. Probably not."

Sidney Crosby: The Kid who walks softly but carries a big stick

[alkemical]

I was going to post the stories, but they have had alot of news since tuesday.

Some fluff pieces, some news on the arena (blah) - etc-

Flower stole that game for us tonight and was awesome in the shootout, which we almost never win.

Good to see Sid get 2 points as well. I'm not a fan of the Recchin Ball, but congrats to him on his 500th goal.

[SoCalBronco]

Sweet goal by Sid tonight from the seat of his pants. He also has 2 assists tonight. It's going to be darn near impossible for him not to win the Art Ross unless he gets hurt again.

PIT 6 PHO 2 in the third.

EDIT: Sid gets another assist, 7-2 PIT. A four point night!

6 games over .500 for the first time in a LONG time, and 7th in the East and just 4 points back of Carolina for 6th with 4 games in hand on the Canes!

EDIT AGAIN: Here's the Crosby goal:
