Crosby fights McLean
Waiting For Stanley — I'm not usually a fan of Sid the Kid. But when he tunes on a guy like he did tonight to Florida's Brett McLean I can appreciate that. This where a goon would come in handy, and the instigator rule abolished. Sid is obviously sick of getting jabbed, slew-footed, etc. Oh and the Penguins lost 6-1. This is not the first time Crosby has fought. He took on Andrew Ference in his first NHL tilt ...

Sid the Goon?
Hockey Blog: Hockey Fights, Fight Videos, Goons & Enforcers | GoonBlog.com — I heard on Versus the other night that fighting in the NHL is up 30% this season. I love that stat. It tells me the guys are starting to police themselves once again. After the lockout, I think a little snarl has been taken out of our beloved game. The NHL needs to stop pandering to casual fans, and work on keeping the die hards they have. You get new fans by doing the wildly successful New Year???s Day Winter Classic (viewership up 12% this season for a Blackhawks collapse) you keep the fans you have by allowing the ???Old Time Hokey??? games to be played. Could this be the year the instigator is finally gone? One man wishing for no instigator ...

"Captain" Crosby loses his skull: the aftermath of a bizarre decision
Litter Box Cats —    Poor Brett McLean. The offensively-struggling Panthers' forward was simply lining up for a standard faceoff when opposing center and league emperor Sidney Crosby jumped him in a viscious attack at the puck drop in what was already a lost cause for the home team on the scoreboard. After apparently not getting enough of a positive result from his club following a go-around with the Cats' Gregory Campbell not long before, Crosby evidently decided more action was necessary. He jumped McLean in a surprise attack (in the Pens' offensive zone, no ...

Pens v Panthers (L 1-6)
The Sidney Crosby Show — I had believed I had scheduled a short post to be published in time for yesterday's game, but I accidentally set the date for the 4th rather than the 3rd. It's just as well - I had written some nonsense about our plans to go watch the game at a friend's house and how, just maybe, a change in venue for us would somehow effect a change in the Pens' fortune. How wrong was I?! ...
