CROSBY
yesterday, Crosby skated for the first time since January 13th (following his December 5th injury) with fellow injured team-mates Simon Despres and Jordan Staal; all three skated again today (and even though the media would portray the recent report of a fracture in his neck as a setback / negative, it would seem – to me- that he is progressing and that his status is better than it has been / looking positive)

With all due respect to other worthy candidates such as Pavel Datsyuk, Jonathan Toews and Henrik Lundqvist, Malkin and Giroux remain a cut above their competition. The two Atlantic...

NHL All-Star Game: More glitter on Malkin's horizon
At the 2008 NHL All-Star Game in Atlanta, Evgeni Malkin could not be persuaded to speak to reporters after picking up a couple of assists -- not by local media members he knew, not by Penguins staff members, not even by then-teammate and friend Sergei Gonchar. What a difference over the weekend at the 2012 confluence of star power.
