Puck Daddy reader Timothy sent us this screenshot yesterday, and wonders exactly how random these words are. Sidney Crosby conspiracy theorists: Merry Christmas. "No joke, that's what it said," wrote Tim in an e-mail. "I'm a Pittsburgh fan and I even think that's crazy. This is why people hate my favorite team. It's stupid things like this that piss people off and make them think Crosby is a tool. ...
