- Pittsburgh is spawning hockey talent in droves, while we remember just how close Ovechkin and Crosby came to nearly being teammates.
- We'll take a look at NHL 2009 and perhaps discuss how badly you will be beaten by "some guy" with the username Pensburgh.
- Afterwards we'll stroll down Crosby St. and look at one guy who got out of Detroit following the Cup win.

A continued look at some posts around the Net. Conveniently enough, an idea I had for a post was already done by EmptyNetters, so I'll just link over to them and save myself the work. As for the others - well, it's a hearty collection.

Mario Lemieux was without words during the Penguins' playoff run. Some of the local newspapers, who in the olden days worshiped and blessed the very ground he walked on, were some of the first to chastise him for his decision to remain silent. It wasn't until the Game 6 loss that Lemieux finally spoke.
Personally, I admire the guy's ability to pull the ol Tom Barrasso media blackout. The attention of the series was on the team and the players, not the management. Any other team's higher-ups would be ignored more often than not from the media. However, this is former Penguin, Pittsburgh saving Mario Lemieux we're talking about. Everyone wants to hear what he has to say...

ESPN experts say Detroit is 12-0 in Game 6 meetings since 1996. [EDIT : apparently not entirely accurate]
[EDIT 2 : When the Wings have had a 3-2 lead going into the 6th game, they’ve closed it out every time since 1996 - thanks to user ahtrap]
But the experts also said Pittsburgh was 19-0 at home since February up until they lost Game 4.
Is Detroit's record vulnerable now when you consider how Pitt's didn't hold up?

Pensburgh users and fans around the net have spoken up. What can be done to solve the Penguins' playoff woes, what can Detroit expect back in Pittsburgh and will Chris Osgood maintain a perfect undefeated Stanley Cup Finals record (currently 6-0)? Next to the Flying V and the triple deke, the only other solution seems to be SCORE.
