What the hell, did we eat our suck flakes last night?
(I WANT SID BACK!!! cries)
WOOHOO!!! SIDNEY CROSBY’S BACK!!!
He’ll play tomorrow night when the Pens host the Islanders. (I swear I almost scared the hell out of my cat when I heard the news)
Looking foward to seeing him in DC on DEC 1. Just hope the Caps can get out of their slump enough to make it a good game.
CBC is changing their broadcast schedule and airing the Pens game tonight.
Go Sid!
Hey, did you guys hear? Crosby will be playing tonight! Not sure if anyone else had heard because, strangely, no one is covering it. :rolleyes:
I hear he had Corn Flakes for breakfast and briefly coughed at exactly 11:32:17am EST.
Good for him, though I still worry that one more hit could end his career. I wish him luck.
I’ll be watching the Bruins@Habs game; a much more interesting match-up, IMHO! Carey Price has posted shutouts in his last two starts (with a Petr Budaj loss in the middle), which you’d think would be awesome for me in my fantasy league, except for the fact that he’s faced so few shots, I’m not getting any points. Would it kill you to stop a puck once in a while, Carey?! 
<dave_hodge> 'Bout fucking time! </dave_hodge>
I’ll be at the Caps-Coyotes game. I hope there will be something in the media to tell me how Crosby did.
I’m going to try a new BBQ place before the game so the trip won’t be a total waste if the Caps continue there slide.
Islanders starting a rookie goalie against the Pens tonight.
I was really hoping DiPietro would get the start tonight, that would have made for an interesting game!
DiPietro looked horrid against the Bruins on Saturday. Wouldn’t be surprised if Julien gave Lucic instructions to avoid him at all costs and just let him sleep through the game.
Sidney Crosby has more goals this season than Scott Gomez.
I’m alternating between laughing and crying. 
He finished the season last year on fire and he seehms to be off to a strong start. My brother and I were debating this a few weeks ago…
Does he still have a shot at the Art Ross or Maurice Richard this season? Seems a bit crazy, but I dunno.
I think it’s safe to say that Crosby is not going to need an adjustment period. He looks every bit as dominant as he did last year before the injury.
First game back:
15:54 played, 8 shots, 2 goals, 2 assists, 13-6 on faceoffs.
Wow. So glad he’s back!
Well, if he keeps playing like he did tonight he very well could. Damn! (If you’re talking about Sidney Crosby, that is)
Damn, Sid kicked some serious ass tonight. Fuck, I screamed so loud when he scored that first goal I think I scared the shit out of my dog. :o
AND it was a shut-out for Fleury. A truly great day for hockey. 
(I would NOT want to be driving around CEC tonight. Traffic must be an absolute nightmare!)
I’m pretty sure you had a whole country up here to the north doing the same thing.
It certainly doesn’t hurt that his first game back was against the [del]Washington Generals[/del] NY Islanders.
That poor Islanders rookie - I guess it’s great he got to play an NHL game and he’s now the answer to a trivia question (Who was the first goalie Crosby scored against after his injury?) but damn was he ever set up to fail.
I’m glad I started Fleury in my hockey pool! Even had he won, Price faced too few shots to give many points.
This Wings/Bruins game is fun to watch. No trapping here, just end to end creating vs scrambling between a bunch of good players, then they switch roles.
Trip and dive called on the same play? If it really is a trip, it shouldn’t matter what the other guy does.
That’s become a more common call in the last few years, and I love it. This isn’t soccer, and we don’t want people embellishing calls.
