The walk from the Penguins' dressing room to the postgame podium was a long one for Sidney Crosby. The floor was wet with water drained from the Zamboni and Crosby was wearing rubber sandals. But the unsure footing was the least of his problems.

From the CP via TSN, Much has been said and written about Evgeni Malkin's superb play when Sidney Crosby went down with injury this season. But it also should not be forgotten that the Pittsburgh Penguins, nearing a Stanley Cup final berth, may not even be here had it not been for how Ty Conklin stepped in for the injured Marc-Andre Fleury this season. “Him and Gino, it was probably a...

From Darren Dreger at TSN, We saw that in Game two of the Flyers-Penguins game when it appeared that Sidney Crosby had scored to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead late in the first. Most believe that it was a goal, but video review couldn't conclusively prove it. The NHL wants to get it right and has experimented in the past with visual aids that have never been adopted.

from Pierre LeBrun at Sportsnet, This is a magical time for the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. On the ice, the Penguins are playing some of the most elegant hockey in the league, led by the twin superstar attack of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
