Tonight's Crosby Point-O-Meter: 6

 

How about that shorty at the end by Staal? Pretty fun game to watch even though it wasn't close.

 

Six points? Is that all? Geez, what's all the hype about? [/dripping with sarcasm]

 

Got it on the DVR at home, but the radio guys went so nuts I had to go find it online.

Holy Shit. Holy Holy Shit.

 

It's good to be a Penguins fan these days.

 

Was it not a good time to be a Pens fan when Rick Kehoe was playing?

 

It's kind of nerve-racking right now.

The team might be in Kansas City this time next year.

 

Today's NYT had a pretty interesting piece on the evolution of the goaltender's psyche. Once the nuttiest player in all of sports, the goaltender is now normal.

In denial, I will have none of that talk. The Pens are going nowhere. KC can have any team it wants, just not this one.

 

Watched a chunk of the Flyers game last night. God save us all from Pierre Maguire.

Staal's goal was brilliant, Crosby was fabulous and the Flyers are one atrocious hockey team--from goal on out.

 

The NHL scheduling monkey has a sense of humor or is cruel, I can't decide.

When Paul Maurice takes his Maple Leafs to Raleigh on Friday, it will be three years TO THE DAY after the Hurricanes fired him.

The second visit by his team to Raleigh? Mo's 40th birthday on Jan. 30.

 

Sirs, Madames,

Crosby might turn out to be a decent player. But he's no Phil Kessel.

YHS, etc
