Go Penguins!!!! Our Canadian cousins say that Crosby is indeed the real deal, that is one area where I will default to their knowledge.

I hope OLN doesn't muck up the coverage like they did the outdoor motocross season this summer.

The best part about it is - no NBA (at least for a few more weeks). NBA - unwatchable.

Okay, so do you still root for the Bears? They are the Caps farm team now. And the Pens? That must be tough.

A friend of mine told me about Crosby. He said when Sid was 16 he was skating circles around the 18 year olds in Juniors.

Also said the kid has a sense of where the puck is going next, similar to Gretzky, and soft hands like Mario.

I can't wait!

You know, I understand your feelings, and shared them. But I got a chance to see how my boys (and the other kids in the crowd) react.

The youngsters like it, and they are the next generation of hockey fan.

And it's cool if your team wins in a shootout! that I know firsthand!

I hope your Penguano's enjoy Crosby.

But cross state we have the real TEAM deal with the Flyers! Last night the 2005 AHL Calder Cup champ Philly Phantoms in Flyers uniforms with the new Goon defence of Derian Hacher and Mike Rathje went toe to toe with the Jersey Devils! I can't wait to see Forseberg and Primeau join this bunch.

Ahh! Hockey is back!

Wow they're actually doing stuff to build the audience, I'm really starting to like the new contract, ESPN never seemed to even contemplate anything like this.

I've had a wait-and-see attitude about Crosby, based on the way players like Eric Lindros never really lived up to their hype.

A lot of hockey scouts thought Lindros was NHL-ready by the time he was 15 years old (he was about 6-3, 215 pounds back then).
