      You may be right, Nashville always plays the Pens tough...

      That is, the previous years Pens....

              Koltsov won't be that high bro, doesn't have the scoring touch of the top two lines...

              Something like this:

              Leclair-Lemieux-Recchi
              Malone-Crosby-Palffy
              Fata-Pirjeta-Koltsov
              Surovy-Beech-Roy

              Edzo should have some fun juggling the lines during training camp...

                That was quick, signed deal in less than a day....

                Must be nice, 18 year old kid making more in endorsements than his salary...



                Pens to announce Crosby signing Friday

                Associated Press

                9/8/2005 7:42:03 PM

                PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't want Sidney Crosby to miss even a minute of their first training camp in two years. The NHL's labour agreement made it all but certain he wouldn't.

                The Penguins are expected to announce Friday that the No. 1 draft pick has signed his first NHL contract, a formality since the new labour deal limits his first-year compensation to $850,000 in salary and $850,000 in bonuses.

                Crosby's agent, Pat Brisson, flew to Pittsburgh on Thursday night for a Friday morning meeting with Penguins general manager Craig Patrick to finalize the agreement. To maximize local TV coverage before the Steelers start dominating it during the weekend, the two sides are expected to announce the deal Friday afternoon.

                The bonuses are expected to be tied to relatively easily obtainable standards for a player of Crosby's ability, such as scoring 20 goals, getting 35 assists, making the all-rookie team and being among the top three rookie forwards in plus-minus.

                Until he gets several more years of experience, the 18-year-old Crosby is all but certain to make more money via endorsements and promotions than he does in salary.

                Crosby first visited Pittsburgh last month for the team's rookie orientation camp.

                Crosby is due back for the start of training camp Tuesday and a week's worth of pre-season practice before the Penguins shift their camp to their Wilkes-Barre, Pa., minor-league affiliate's arena.

                Crosby is looking forward to the camp, mostly to get acquainted with players such as Lemieux, Mark Recchi, John LeClair, Sergei Gonchar and Jocelyn Thibault that, until now, he's seen play only in person.

                ''I'm excited to play with any guys in the NHL, but when you see some of the names they're bringing in, I mean it's going to be a great experience,'' he said. ''No. 1 draft picks go to a place that's rebuilding and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to play with a team that's going to compete every night.''

                Crosby will make his NHL debut Oct. 5 at New Jersey.

                  Just grabbed some great game tix for 3 games (for some great cash, I might add )...

                  Oct. 7th, Pens at Canes... (Poj, sect. 122, about 15 rows from the ice)

                  Dec. 27th, Leafs at Pens... (Center Ice, about 15 rows from the ice)

                  Feb. 11th, Pens at Caps... (Sect. 102, about 15 rows from the ice)


                  Frickin' Ticketmaster was FLOODED, all NHL teams started selling individual game tickets at the same time....

                    I got an e-mail from the Devils informing me that tickets are on sale for a 10% discount. I think it should be alot more than that.

                    I'll probably go to one game this year. That'll be the game when I go with my son and his school at 50% off.

                      Yeah, read on the Pens board that the opener at the Meadowlands on the 5th sold out in 10 minutes....

                      Hockey is back, indeed....

                        I guess everyone wants to see Mario and Crosby. The Devils in the meantime have lost Stevens and Niedermayer.

                          Crosby with a sweet move from behind the net and flips it past the goalie with a backhander....

                              Listening to the Pens' 1st preseason game tonight (yes, I'm a glutton)...

                              The refs are calling ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.... Midway through the 3rd period, there has to be 20 penalties called already....

                                The other Federov

                                Sergei's little bro Fedor Federov is lighting it up in inter-squad games here at Vancouver...looking like an all-star.

                                He has had motivational issues here, but look the fuck out if he can keep this up.

                                Has talent to be all-world...

                                Canucks take the Cup....Bert is actually stronger and faster now than before.

                                Can't wait!
