Just awful. -The Penguins get a Superstar and a Sarge back tonight and they've each done damage to the Senators in the past: -FSN Pittsburgh wants to know what you want to watch. Something on Jaromir Jagr, Bob Johnson or last season's Stanley Cup title. We're voting for Johnson: -Mark Eaton will play...

Think about this for a moment. The last time the Penguins had a lineup in a game of consequence that didn't include Evgeni Malkin, John Leclair, one of the final mistakes of the Craig Patrick regime, was still a member of the club. That's how long Evgeni Malkin's consecutive streak was (or still is technically). The last 254 regular season games the Penguins have played have seen Evgeni Malkin take...

Craig Adams is back blogging and writes an excellent post on a Methodist view of atonement . no one can come to God the Father except through the grace & mediation of Christ!
