Schadenfreude Sunday: Pens in 9th in the East, Crosby Wanted by Interpol, Various War Crimes Tribunals

Last night at Verizon Center I was implored by my press box colleagues to eyeball the video of Sidney Crosby's ambush of Florida's Brett McLean earlier in the day. Suspecting an incendiary motive among them, I waited until I arrived home from the game. By puck-drop between the Caps and Rags last night, I was already aware that with their most recent humiliation, at the hands of the Southeast's third-place Panthers, the Penguins had free-fallen to ninth place in the Eastern conference, a mere week's worth of additional losses away from residing with the likes of Toronto. Our defending Eastern conference champions, were the season to end today, would be golfing. So why react to whatever Crosby had done in an already inflamed state, right?
