This writer wants to give Sydney Crosby a foot massage Some memorable highlights:
... co-owner Mario Lemieux wasn’t calling. He did his talking earlier Sunday when he lashed out at the NHL for how it handled punishments following a night of brawling in Pittsburgh’s 9-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Friday.
In a powerful and hard-hitting statement, the Hockey Hall of Famer questioned whether he wanted to remain a part of the league in which he became famous with the Penguins...
Fisticuffs and penalties are nothing new to the Penguins, who lead the NHL in fighting majors and penalty minutes per game.
I LOVE THIS:
“Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be. But what happened Friday night on Long Island wasn’t hockey. It was a travesty,” Lemieux said. “It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that.”
He said "travesty."
And I wish Pens and Islanders could play each other more, really. Like twice a week. I need to go and see one of them games.
