Via the Root Sports feed: Crosby becomes the first person in CEC history to be able to use the wireless. Could you imagine anyone else doing such a thing? Wonder if there will be outrage about this from Don Cherry or some old annoying player? Mario Lemieux probably would have been looking up pics of elite wine if he had an iPad on the bench.

Soon. #CorvoFace That…that’s Mark Eaton’s music! OK, yes, we know…the return of Mark Eaton to Pittsburgh is little more than a depth signing.
