Before we get started, I wanted to make you all aware of a slight (yet significant) change I made this morning to the layout of The Show : The Archives section was getting a little long, so I threw it into a drop down menu box. Now it only takes up one line! :) The menu is located at the very end of the blogroll on the right underneath the site's stats counters. Good Friend of The Show ...

Ryan Whitney has had successful foot surgery. From
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review : Ryan Whitney's critics have considerably
less ammunition today. Turns out, the defenseman skated on one healthy foot last season. Whitney, whose point total dropped ...
The Penguins have started Roaming! Where did the first one land? Why, in Oklahoma - the new home of good Friend of The Show Cassie G.: When I posted yesterday, I completely forgot about the Sidney Crosby/Tom Welling comparisons. So with a nod to Friend of The Show Pensgirl for mentioning this weeks ago, I've put the two of them side-by-side for you today so you can again judge for yourself: ...

Did you ever look at the Saint and go, "Hmmm... he reminds me of someone..." Well, you might remember that SI.com thinks Sid looks like SNL comic Andy Samberg . (Hahahaha, SI.com also thinks Alex Ovechkin could double for the homely big dude that played Jaws from the James Bond movies!) I can definitely buy that - especially when I put this picture of Sid next to this picture of Andy. But ...

A few days ago, Friend of The Show Katie S. sent in this picture that she snapped while on vacation in Cooperstown, New York: Good Friend Pensgirl sent in the following pictures in response. She added: So I have some companion pictures for the Cooperstown one you posted today... unfortunately I was in Windsor on Labour Day (which is the same day as Labor Day here) and the hockey museum was ...

No, it's not a cheesy new nickname for the Saint! :P Some of our Friends of The Show celebrated Sid's birthday with some confections inspired by the man himself. Here are a few pictures of their sugary Sid creations. Philly Lindsay, who has said that she feels like the lone Pens fan in the City of Brotherly Love, made this cake for Sid (she chose Winter Classic blue for the icing color). ...

(Click for a super-sized view.) Awww! It's baby Sidney Patrick!!! Siddo started to learn how to play ...

I'm soooo ready for training camp to begin that it's not even funny. [*Sigh*] Here's a couple of things to get you through another hockey-free summer day. Friend of The Show Allie C. found this 50-page research paper by Alan Ryder of HockeyAnalytics.com . It's chock full of stats and projections, the most interesting of which can be found on page 46. Midway down that page begins a section ...

The Saint is less than a week from being legally able to partake in a few adult beverages here in The States, and now we know what drink to buy for him if we see him in a bar... Either brand will do. :) Actually, Sid's been pounding them down up north for a few years now, so it's not like turning 21 will have the same meaning to him as it does to us Yankees. Rob Rossi of The Pittsburgh ...

UGH. I hate Nickelback , but I couldn't help but immediately think of those words when I got the next two pictures in my email. We're all so desperate for hockey right now that it seems like there are signs popping up everywhere that are making us think about the Penguins, particularly the Kid. Friend of The Show Rho M. sent in this picture for us. She said, "I just got back from NYC where I ...

What's worse than a head cold? A head cold in the summer! (>_ Friends of The Show . From Lauren H.: The Pens are trying to get approval to use the Winter Classic jersey as their third jersey this season. (Yay!) The Bleacher Report ranks the 10 most valuable NHL players.

We established a few weeks ago that someone over at TheOnion.com must like hockey because they've featured some wickedly funny "articles" about the NHL in the past. First there was one from November 2007 that proclaimed that Sid's one-goal, two-assist game saved hockey. Then there was The Onion's take on Siddo's high ankle sprain . More recently, The Onion featured a mockup tabloid report of ...

Thank you so much to all of you for your well wishes on my interview this weekend. :D It went really well, but they're going to interview a few more candidates this week. They're looking for a Jack (or in my case, Jill) of all trades, and the company is willing to send the new hire to school to learn the necessary skills to do the job. So as long as no one they interview has more checks in ...

I want to start out with my sincerest apologies for the lameness that is about to be this post, but I've got a job interview tomorrow (I've never had one on a Saturday morning, haha!) for which I must get ready. The economy isn't exactly booming right now, and the company where I work is facing mounting financial difficulties. They've been cutting people left and right, and I figure it's only ...

It is a question that we hear all of the time: Who's the best player in hockey today? From some of the comments we've gotten here at TSCS over the past years, it's quite obvious that opinions vary on this subject (if you want mine, just shift your eyes up ever so slightly and read the name on the banner). Now we can add one more NHL great to the list of people who are on Team Crosby for this ...

So by now, you all know I like to hold onto some of the stuff you send me during the off-season for a rainy day (← read: when there's no news about the Saint). Well, here's an email I received from Friend of The Show Sarah G. last week: I'm from Nova Scotia and my little cousin Aidan is a HUGE hockey fan, and a huge Sidney Crosby fan. Aidan is 7 years old and has been playing hockey for three ...
