RECAP: All The Bing’s Men. PENS WIN. Source: The Pensblog
Lange's goal calls: There's a reason this night and this game was picked. It had nothing to do with the Islanders. It had nothing to do with anything other than Sidney Crosby himself. He wasn't going to return until he was 115% ready. Sure, he has some conditioning to take care of. Sure, we won't see him on the penalty kill for a while, if ever, considering how the PK is doing so far this season. But he wasn't stepping onto the ice until he knew he could go out there and compete at the same level we all saw him at toward the tail end of 2010. And nothing has changed. Other than obviously the Penguins organization and Pittsburgh media, no one has a better grasp on Crosby's play than Pens fans. We all know what we watched last night. No one saw anything that suggests Crosby has lost a step or “something's not right.” In fact, he looks even better. The nightmare of him going scoreless for the first couple games and media members starting to chirp about Crosby's condition? Those visions were completely washed away not even 6 minutes into the game by Crosby himself. We'll never have to deal with it. Crosby is back. And he looks possessed. … Read this article

He has played six seasons and amassed almost 600 career points, but there is much more to his career than stat totals. Let’s explore the greatest moments in Sidney Crosby ‘s career so far.

Ovechkin's play and Bruce Boudreau have become the focal points of the Washington turmoil. Ovechkin is facing questions every night about the Caps' problems, as well as his own non-headline-grabbing stat line thus far this season.
