Nice night for the Pens! Beating up our state rivals the Fliers in a BRUTAL game. Lots of fighting/shoving. Hard hitting game typical of Philly. Crosby was beat around in the game, especially by Hatcher, but Crosby wound up winning it in OT on a breakaway. If you guys are following him at all, this kid is the real deal all the way... He's a marvel to watch him play, he's feisty as **** for his size, and he's REALLY fast (something Lemieux didn't have).
Mario's forever in my heart my favorite athlete ever. He was why I played hockey, he's why I still want to play hockey despite my age/physical health, and he's forever my favorite Penguin on or off the ice... But damn I like Crosby.

He really took charge tonight, and every time he was on the ice after his penalty, he was just electric. Anyone who can do that at will is a superstar.
I love watching him mix it up with big vets too. He wasn't taking **** from Hatcher and that is something that you have to respect as a player. All the bigger Crosby is and he still is giving the finger to the big arrogant D of the league. Nice.
