Official Sidney Crosby is going to be a Penguin Thread

[Allenberg]

On the same line with Super Mario?

Tasty. :D

1. Wow...I just saw a story about him on the news here in Chicago.

My God, he's cute. :-)

4. And he has a hell of a wrister.

Gotta love that, eh? :D

2. I'm really pissed

that the Rangers are at #16. We haven't made the fricking playoffs in the last eight years, which in the NHL is nearly statistically impossible, and we're at 16?! For the love of god, I wasn't even asking for the #1--just let us be in the top 5 or something.

3. Look on the bright side

it's going to be a serpentine draft, you'll always be in the middle. :D

[sir_captain]

5. And we'll have a good pick in the 2nd round

since we get Toronto's. But it all still sucks.

6. mixed feelings

Good News - as a Pittsburgher I am thrilled; I hope he does for hockey what Labron did for hoops in Cleveland
- Now we may get a hockey arena, paid for privately...

Bad News - Ticket Prices will likely rise - substantially; no small thing as they were already 'spensive
- if people don't show up, this is lemeiuex's chance to bail on his investment by selling the team with the best player to a bidder; In other words - unless people come out, there will be no Pittsburgh NHL team in 5 years.

Interesting times, indeed
