from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Not surprisingly, Bob Gainey does not use Twitter. He hasn’t personally seen what Allan Walsh tweeted last weekend. But, he’s aware of the controversy, and Jaroslav Halak won’t be held responsible for his agent’s thoughts. “I thought it was infantile ... ‘My dad is bigger than your dad,’ kind of thing,” Gainey said Tuesday...

** SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO ** (AP) PITTSBURGH -- Superstitious Sindey Crosby didn't want to jinx his shot at a hat trick after his first two goals. Perhaps for the same reason, he isn't willing to acknowledge he's morphing into a top pure goal-scorer.
