For all the Crosby haters out there - check out the cover of the latest Icetime magazine. The best part is that the Penguins are the ones that actually publish this magazine:

someone just lost their job... this stuff makes me laugh, how many sets of eyes proofed this cover before it went to print... seriously this is a joke, a mockery, a sham... a shamockery. someone should add the pens roster names to their spellcheck dictionary especially if they work for the franchise.....

anyone who wants Zack Kassian needs to watch tonight's Canucks game for exhibits A thru Z on why he would be a terrible acquisition.

I wouldn't put much stock into this game at all.

Duh - it's obviously points you can put towards getting some free Sindey Crosby merchandise.

I didn't see the game, so I looked and found this. They show the whole turn of events starting at 0:48, and while I know it's harsh to judge off one play but a wasted scoring chance and a dumb penalty in the same shift is something we surely can live without.

what a dick

Do the Pens not have editors for their magazine? That is hilarious but sad.

I'm ready for Bruins hockey-this break with no Bruins hockey seems long.

Speaking as an editor, I can attest that we are dying breed. We have staffers who don't know the difference between its and it's.

It will be very interesting to see if he gets suspended. That was way worse than what Marchand did.

 

[RedBruin]

Pens just acquired Lapierre ?

What a fit.

....isn't it "we are a dying breed"?

I can see it sadly.

I've read newspaper articles and books from major publishing houses that use then instead of than or the wrong there/their/they're. I'm not a grammar Queen by any means but those kinda of mistakes should never pass the editing process and when it comes to articles about people (eg poor "Sindey" Crosby) diligence should be made to spell names correctly-especially in hockey where there are players from all over North America and Europe.

 

[Estlin]

Are they still the islanders after the move? Or do they rename to the Brooklyn Hipsters?

 

[DoubleAAAA]

But you get +50 penspoints. Wowza.

It's like a Schrute Buck or a Stanley Nickel

questions like that are going to earn you a full desadulation

Well I never! *faints and falls to the floor*

Rather have the hammer than the nail. Bruins feed off this stuff. Sign me up.

 

[BostonBob]

Well it's now a collector's item.


from sports.yahoo.com:

Seriously. You had ONE JOB.

At the risk of throwing a stone in a glass house – and acknowledging that our own adventures in editing can sometimes read like a junior jumble puzzle – the editors of the official game program of the Pittsburgh Penguins made a rather egregious error on their cover on Tuesday night.

The Jan. 27 game between the Penguins and the Winnipeg Jets didn’t feature Sidney Crosby, who’s out with an injury. But neither did the cover of their game program … although it did feature a “Sindey Crosby,†making us curious if they’re outsourcing their copyediting to Philadelphia.

Dejan Kovacevic of Pittsburgh Sports, who snapped the image, said that the Penguins pulled the program off arena stands. Congrats to anyone who snagged a collector’s item.

 

[BostonBob]

Alexi Emelin broke Jason Spezza's nose last night with this hit into the boards. He got a 5 minute boarding major and a 10 minute misconduct and I think he'll probably be sitting for a few games too.

I am not the biggest Kassian fan, but before going off on him, I am pretty sure the hit on Maroon (14:37 left in 2nd) was less about frustration and more about retaliation?

Only 30 seconds before the Kassian penalty, Dorsett got knocked out of the game by an elbow/shoulder to the head from Kesler (15:06 left in 2nd), which the announcers fail to mention for some reason:





As usual, the ******* refs miss the first penalty (the elbow to Dorsett), but get the response.

IMO, the league should be looking at that Kesler hit. Not sure what his history is off the top of my head, but that's worth a couple of games. Threw the chicken wing out, principle point of contact was the head.

 

[Dellstrom]

Kassian is an idiot.

Yeah, they didn't call the first one, but they will call the retaliation. They obviously will, that was just completely blatant. They should have called the elbow, which was the catalyst I guess, but that doesn't excuse what he did.

If you think Marchand and Lucic take stupid penalties, he takes 10x more while being 10x worse. I don't get the obsession with him. He's ****ing awful. He stepped up for his teammate, great, but he hurts them even more in the game. He would be the whipping boy within 5 minutes.

 

[EverettMike]

Gotta be honest, don't think Emelin should be suspended. A little reckless, but it looked like Spezza was going to take the puck and skate forward, but he did the little half turn at the last second.

A 5 minute major seems like a fair enough punishment for probably not being careful enough.

 

[22Brad Park]

NHL so crooked not funny.Nothing for Emelin for crosscheck on Spezza from behind and broke his nose.
