I'd assumed that CNN-SI assigns a writer to cover the entire league, not just one (Crosby) or two (and Malkin) players. Maybe I'm a complete neophyte, but selling star power will lead the NHL down the dimly lit path of the NBA.

OK...tell me the rest of you haven't grown a bit tired of Ms Eunice Kwak. She's a regular contributor to the CNN-SI Hockey page and always writes about how astonishingly wonderful Sydney Crosby is, or how much of a feel-good story the Penguins of '09, '10, '11 or ________ (fill in the blank) are. This woman makes me want vomit and I can only assume that my GI distress comes from her insatiable desire to polish Syndey's knob to a high gloss.

Here's her most recent love note to Mr Crosby..

Clutch. How do you spell Bimiji State again?

Anyone see what happened to Jagr? I'm in Atl on a hesitant web stream.

my POV shot...lol. I wish.

That Lavy comment speaks volumes about why Carter and Richards were traded. Its really as close to an open indictment of their leadership qualities as we are ever likely to get.

That's my pov shot

Thanks. Whatever happens this season, I am very optimistic about the future of this team. The youth movement Homer pulled off is really quite impressive.

Flyers have 5 rookies (Couts, Rinaldo, Read, Gustavson, and Zolneirczyk) playing significant minutes and playing well.

Anyone know if any other NHL teams have so many first year players playing & contributing?

Thnx
