The waiting is the hardest part

Oh, if only the Pens could win a game........just one......this month....a week to go.......the only first Sidney Crosby noted this month, other than his first NHL goal, is the first game he ever played in in his entire hockey career where the team for whcih he was skating did not score a goal. I think that is right; I think I heard that on the radio the other day.
In other Crosby news, if you are interested in following this (and I will probably link to it on the sidebar at some point), the Globe and Mail has relocated a reporter to Pittsburgh for a year to cover the Rookie Season. That is huge. In addition to the articles there is a blog, too, with the necessary funny bits in it, too, like this one.

Yesterday after the Penguins practiced, a serious looking man in a suit was waiting for Sidney in the dressing room. Turns out he was a representative for Mellon Bank, wanting to set the rookie up with a chequing account, debit and credit card. The players got their first cheques on the 15th and Sidney had no where to deposit his.
A boy needs a bank account, especially one with plans to buy a new car. Sidney is hoping to do just that on Monday. Now Mario won't
have to wait around for him if he has other things to do.
The rookie's ride of choice is a boxy, unpretentious Ranger Rover in blue. The Sport model starts at $56,750 (U.S.) and the top Range Rover goes from $74,950.
And it comes in "Buckingham blue." It's a rich, not nearly navy that almost perfectly matches one of the hues Sidney selected for his Reebok line of clothing - - T-shirts and lifestyle wear coming out in the next few months. The kid has vision on the ice and an eye for style too.
