The Pensblog cracks me up.
Including the Winter Classic, the Penguins have been on a bit of a roll. They've won five in a row and six of their last seven. The third-string goalie is 6-0 and has started several games in a row.
Barry Melrose talked last night about Sidney Crosby through 200 games. Gretzky had something like 412 points through his first 200 games. Lemieux was next with 320-ish, IIRC. Crosby has something like 210-ish (again, bad memory here, but something like that). The goalies in the 80s were smaller, less athletic, and had smaller pads. The game was more about skill and less about grinding it out in the corners.
P.S. Conk block. Heh.
