Fantasy Scouting Report: Penguins

2

The boys over at Fantasy Hockey Scouts hit me up with a few questions last week as we head into the upcoming season. Let's see what we can expect from the Pens' players in terms of fantasy hockey points. Speaking of - who is interested in fantasy hockey this season? Given time constraints, I only think I can manage one league this year. But perhaps some of the other Pensburgh staffers would be interested in heading up a league.

With the regular season approaching it's time to reprise last year's "smash hit" countdown series.

Crosby Scheduled to Speak To Media Wednesday

29
UPDATE: Sidney Crosby will address the media Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 12:30 pm ET. The media conference will stream live on PittsburghPenguins.com. From Shelly Anderson at the PG: It's what Penguins fans have been waiting a long time for -- Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will meet with the media at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at Consol Energy Center. We're sure he will tell us all he can about where he stands in his concussion recovery and what he expects in terms of training camp. And, if we get a chance, we'll ask him about a few other things, such as his buddy Max Talbot signing with the Flyers. On a side note, I am launching into the world of Twitter and hope to Tweet as Crosby is talking or seconds afterward. Please follow me, @pgshelly.
