Nice hair, Sid
The season has ended, so it’s time to pick the Penguins superlatives!
Note: These don’t necessarily reflect the season. I was just bored and picked ones I thought suited certain Penguins.
Without further ado, here are you 2011/2012 Pittsburgh Penguins Most Likely To’s!
All that speculation about 11-11-11 being the date of the anticipated comeback ends today. Head Coach Dan Bylsma announced after Pens practice today that Crosby won’t play in the next two games.
Rumors that Friday was the day for the return of Sid the Kid has been on going since the season started. Crosby has repeated that he doesn’t even know when he will be back and never knew how the rumor started.
We all know that Crosby is a little superstitious (okay, let’s be honest he is extremely superstitious!) Since he received his first blow to the head on 1-1-11, many reporters even asked Sid if that would stop him from returning on 11-11-11.
Apparently it doesn’t even matter what the day is, because he won’t be playing at all this weekend. I’ll be honest though, I don’t want him to comeback tomorrow either. The date scares me a little.
But all dates aside, Crosby hasn’t talked to media the past two days, probably being fed up of being asked the same questions over and over again.
Although Crosby won’t be in the lineup against one of the hottest teams in the NHL tomorrow, Bylsma said Forward Tyler Kennedy who has been out since reporting concussion symptoms last month is listed as a game-time decision against the Stars.
Now as the rumors continue for the date of the comeback, the season goes on as the Pens faceoff against the Dallas Stars tomorrow night at Consol Energy Center.
Like any self-respecting grown men, the members of the Pittsburgh Penguins celebrated Halloween with gusto! Let’s recap the evening…
If you aren’t already following Evgeni Malkin on Twitter (@malkin71_), I highly recommend it. Thanks to him, full coverage of the Pittsburgh Penguins Halloween Party was brought to the people; including, but not limited to, this gem:
That is Malkin with your captain, ladies and gentlemen. Crosby cleans up pretty well as a gladiator, no?

Every time Pittsburgh hockey fans hear the word “concussion” our hearts drop. We thought with Sidney Crosby slowly making his come back, we would hear it less often. Wrong!
Unfortunately, we have to hear it again. Head Coach Dan Bylsma announced today that after sitting out practice this morning, Forward Tyler Kennedy has been experiencing concussion-like symptoms.
NOT ANOTHER PLAYER!
Apparently we have not been on the hockey gods good side recently. Kennedy joins Crosby, Malkin, Orpik and Jeffrey on the Pens who are currently injured.
Bylsma said it was not immediately known what is causing the symptoms, but said team doctors will evaluate him.
Well, with another man down, this gives some other players an opportunity to show what they got and hopefully not get hurt in the process.
-Did you see yesterday’s Penguins Report? There was definitely some sort of office party happening because that thing was cray cray. We’d still love to be besties with those guys, though.
– Watch Kunitz and Dupuis play soccer kick-around before the Calgary game.
–The fans have spoken and the Penguins are making some changes this season… For the record, they completely ignored my plea to start a “Buy Todd Reirden a Toupee Fund”…
–A picture of TK looking especially Who-like.
-I’m sure you saw all of that hullaballoo about Ryan Kesler being featured in the Body Issue of ESPN magazine. Well, apparently Fleury was asked and declined…
–Rob Rossi loves Dan Bylsma and we do, too.
-Finally, we dug up Jagr’s Rookie Card…
We should have known there was something fishy about that guy…
