PITTSBURGH -- A nanny formerly employed by Penguins player Chris Kunitz was sentenced Tuesday to five years in federal prison for setting fire to her rental residence and then filing fraudulent insurance claims for the contents.

The public defender for Andrea Forsythe, 28, unsuccessfully sought a term running concurrently to one she'll receive next month for thefts from Kunitz and other people for whom she worked as a nanny.

She also was ordered to pay more than $179,000 restitution to the insurance companies that covered her losses in the June 23, 2014, fire in Sturgeon.

In the other cases, Forsythe was convicted of numerous crimes and will be sentenced Jan. 3 by a judge in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court. Prosecutors say she stole $12,000 diamond earrings from Kunitz's home in 2013 and sold them to jewelry stores. The earrings were a birthday present for Kunitz's wife, Maureen.

ESPN (Disney) - the best place to go for sports tabloids. Anyway, it's an off day for the Pens and I found this oddly interesting. I wonder how often pro athletes have to deal with theft and crazy cases like this just due to their nature of travel and being rich...

I know it's cool to bash Kunitz around here but his cap hit is $3.7m, which was a steal up until 2014, and is a fair amount for a 40 point guy (which he was in 2015 and 2016). He is currently on pace for another 40 point season. You could do alot worse for $3.7 million.

If we had the option going back in time and nullifying Kunitz' extension and having him walk, that would be a big mistake.

This is his new excuse for his poor play over the last year. The distraction kept his mind off of hockey.

And to add...he's not a 40 point guy unless he plays with 2 of the greatest centers to have ever played the game. How were his numbers with Bonino again?

Did she steal his iron?

I thought I was clever... but everyone just made the same joke. I'll see myself out.

Feel bad for Kunitz. But since this was brought up...

Did she steal his iron?

Anyone else find it weird that NO ONE from the team, media, etc. has mentioned Kunitz's iron deficiency since it first came out? Like they initially tried to use it as an excuse as to why he sucks but no one bought it, so now they just sweep it all under the rug...

Now that's obviously (a little) sarcastic but it still makes me wonder

*runs into thread out of breath* Did she... steal his freakin... iron supplements????

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

The iron jokes.

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

She also stole his copies of The Iron Giant, Iron Butterfly Live, and a portrait of Margaret Thatcher.

 

[TNT87]

She also stole an autographed picture of his favorite wrestler when he was a kid Iron Mike Sharpe.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Guys, has the iron joke been used yet?

 

[Griffin6612]

With the title I honestly thought this was a joke about Ray Shero getting a 5 year extension or something.

 

[Shady Machine]

Weird story. It's never fun to be robbed, particularly by someone you trusted and invited into your home.

 

[Human]

I heard she used to eat all the spinach she could find in the fridge...

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Stole most of his golf clubs, but left the woods behind.

 

[KIRK]

This whole thread is very IRONic.

 

[farscape1]

Me drinking Iron City while reading all of this.



Honestly though its a dam shame she did that. She was their Nanny, she helped take care of the kids and was surely well trusted. Sure she was being paid good money too. I just dont understand some people.

But back to fun times. She must have a cold Iron heart to do this to people.

 

[rickysusedsht]

im sure it will iron its self out

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Stress is hell on iron levels and so is losing the one who snuck his supplements into his food while he was distracted. Who watches the man in the iron mask with him now?

 

[Son Goku]

For sure someone you don't want around your kids. Scary.
