Guess who scored the first goal for the Pens (when they were down 1-0 to the Montreal)? Sidney Crosby.
Guess who was on his line? Max Talbot and Colby Armstrong. Wow. Didn't see that one coming.
(Crosby scored the 1st goal of training camp too... It'd be cool if he scored the 1st goal for the Pens of the regular season now!)
- Laraque dropped the gloves already, with some **** from the Habs. Laraque: 1, NHL: 0.
- Fleury went all super MAFers and gloved a slapshot by Corey Locke... Who's Corey Locke? (Lol.)
- Max Talbot was his usual hustle-bustle self. He got a couple of the 1st shots of the game off. I just don't see anyone taking his job...

YEDDIE - You can listen to updates at penguins.nhl.com, in the Podcasts section. :)
JENNI - Yeah, it WAS a fun game, until the Habs scored again. Corey Locke resented me asking who he is and has decided to teach me through goals. Lol. Stupid irony.
(It's 2-1 now, 6:29 to go in the 3rd.)

I just realized... what the heck did Y! Answers asterick out there? I didn't say a "bad" word. Lol. I don't remember what word I used originally, but it wasn't bad. Oh well.
LIKE I'M TELLING... - Thanks for the skeedz on Locke! :)
But yeah, the Sid/Army combination seems to work at the end of the regular season. 1st time was Sid's rookie (2005-06) season, at the end, he and Army were put on a line together and it went well. So I wasn't surprised when they were put on a line together again towards the end of last season. Therrien loooves to juggle lines though.
SNOOP - I worked A LOT last week. And I've been sick with a cold the last 5 days, it suuucks.

GANYMEADE27 - What the hell did Sid and Recchi do!? LOL. Someone tell Sid he doesn't have to drop the gloves or play chippy to stay on the roster.
They get roughing penalties... and former Penguin, Alexei Kovalev puts the Pens away in OT. Aww, and I wanted Ruutu to pull another amazing slooow-motion shootout move!
DAYOFTHEPHOENIX99 - Nope, haven't been to training camp yet. I'm going to go when they're at the Igloo, not Southepointe. I love South Hills, but Mellon Arena is closer. Plus, I'd rather go on a weekday when there's less kids. Jarkko Ruutu should be our 3rd man in the shootout, as long as he's having an okay game (the other guys being Christensen & Crosby). He wins a lot of the shootout drills in team practices.
MIKE - I'm sure Sid and Army will play together at some point... But I was reeeally liking the chemistry of Malone-Staal-Armstrong. That was a 3rd line in training camp. It was diesel.

K0RBEN.DALLAS - ...Well, let's not forget that this is the preseason. Oh, and that there was no Evgeni Malkin, Ryan Whitney, or Gary Roberts in that game.

BOB - Habsnation DID give him a standing ovation and they WERE chanting "Cros-by"... Oh wait, that was when he took a penalty in overtime. Lol. But, most Pens fans, even our media, seemed genuinely surprised at how intense and physical that game was. Almost like it was late in the regular season!

thanks for all of the updates. any updates on how sykora is doing? i kinda figured him to be on line with crosby, to add to the force that is Sid!! Im assuming you were also at penguins training camp this year? if so, those scrimmages were pretty good. ruutu's move in the shootout of sundays game was pretty damn good! though, he skates way too slow on shootouts, haha!
ps. love the line "went all MAFers" that is classic!!

Who's Corey Locke?????/
He's a very good friend of Sidney Crosby's actually
Corey Locke was the Canadian Major Junior Player of the Year right before Crosby, and is a 2-time scoring champion in the OHL. Sadly, great junior, probably not an NHLer.
As far as Armstrong, Therrien said at the draft that he would try and use Crosby and Armstrong together more this year. I hope he does because they played well together to end the 2005-06 season.
The fight was with Andrew Archer by the way.........big guy...not known as a fighter. I doubt he gave Laraque much of a fight

Watch your language Erica, GAWD, it's only a preseason game. I can imagine how you'll be when the real season starts! ROFL! jk, jk, xD Seriously though, Fleury will be good. The Avs are just starting their game, but I really don't care about the preseason. As long as no one gets injured, I'm happy. I agree with Armstrong being on the same line as Crosby but I'm not sure which wing he'd be better off playing. On yahoo it says he's a RW, but the Pens have Sykora and Recchi to fill RW, so someone's going to have to switch wings.

Damn, they lost. At least the Avs won in OT. Yay for Stastny!

How can you compare Pittsburgh Penguins the most bandwagon fans in team sports, the same organization who almost went under bankruptcy twice in their franchise to a great history of the Montreal Canadians who have one of the loyalest fans in the league? It's a no brainier the Montreal Canadians! And i'm not even a fan of the Canadians but I know the game and pittsburgh penguins organization isn't even close to Montreal. Get real pens fans..

Where have you been? I've had the search dogs on standby for two weeks already!
To answer your questions about Pittsburgh's second favorite sports team, I'm really surprised that Talbot and Armstrong were Crosby's linemates to start preseason. If anything, I think Michel Therrien is going for the Mario Lemieux/Joe Dzedzick/Petr Nedved effect circa 1995-96. I wonder how Angelo Esposito is doing (has he recovered from injury)...
I'm really looking forward to seeing Dany Sabourin in goal soon, to see how he does (remember, your fantasy team's success depends on him). By the way, it's good to see Mr. Laraque in mid-season form already!

From watching the highlights of the game, I can only say one thing- Sideny Crosby is by far the best hockey player on the planet.
