Crosby finally scored against Montreal

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 18:04:27 +0000

Crosby ended his six game goal slump with a first period goal against Halak to tie the game 1-1, but the Pittsburgh Penguins still ended up losing Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinal to the Montreal Canadiens 4-3. The result forces the Penguins and the Canadiens to play a game 7 winner takes all match to qualiify for the Eastern Confernce Final.

“It was nice to see one go in,” Crosby said. “You work hard to get chances, so yeah, for sure, it always feels good to score.”

Crosby must do all he can to make sure they do not lose to the under dog Montreal team in game seven just like his rival Alexander Ovechkin did in the first round!

Crosby gets his first 50 Goal Season

admin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:37:59 +0000

Sid the Kid finished the NHL season in style notching his first 50 goal season and securing the Rocket Richard Trophy for the first time (tied with Stamkos from the Tampa Bay Lightning) after banging in two nice goals during the Penguins last game of the season. Crosby became the first Penguin to reach 50 goals since Jaromir Jagr in 2000-01, and it is also the first time the trophy has been split between players since 2003-04 when Rick Nash, Jarome Iginla and Ilya Kovalchuk all tied with 41 goals each.

Crosby finished the season with 109 points tied for second overall with Washington’s Alex Ovechkin, finishing ahead of them by three point was Henrik Sedin who secured the 2010 Art Ross Trophy; a first for the Swede and also the first time anybody from the Vancouver Canucks ever won the award.

Crosby finished the season 1st in goals, 2nd in points, 5th in shots, 6th in power play goals, and 8th in assists.

And then the 51st goal

Crosby gets second hat trick this season

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:27:53 +0000

Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins won for the fourth time in the past five games, with an 8 to 3 victory over the New York Rangers. It was also pretty ironic, that the Penguins had a free “Penguins” cap give away to all fans at Mellon Arena last night as well.

And so as fate would have it what a great night for the Penguins super star Sidney Crosby to notch his second hat trick of the season (the last one was on October 28 in a 6-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens).

It was Crosby’s fourth career hat trick and he had two assists as well to also make it his second “five-point” game. He scored a goal in the first period (as well as 2 assists), then notched two more in the third period.

The Rangers have not won a game (regulation games) at Mellon Arena in their past 13 attempts.

The Pittsburgh Penguins win allowed them to remain tied with Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with 36 points each.

Today is Sidney’s 22nd birthday and what a great way to celebrate it by having over 40 thousand local fans come out and cheer you on in a home town Stanley Cup Parade.

“I am very excited to bring the Stanley Cup back to Cole Harbour,” Crosby said in a release. “People from home have been so supportive of me since I was a youngster playing at Cole Harbour Place. I want as many people as possible to be part of this day.” The parade is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. at the Portland Hills bus terminal and head down to Cole Harbour Place where Sidney played hockey when he was younger.

Fans will have a chance to get their picture taken with the Cup, however due to the overwhelming demand, 87 special people (who have winning tickets from a charity raffle) will be able to get their picture taken with the Cup and Sidney Crosby as well.

Crosby & Penguins win Cup

The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the defending champion Detroit Red Wings last night 2 to 1 in game seven of the Playoffs to win the 2009 Stanley Cup. Crosby became the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup above his head.

Sidney Crosby exited the game early in the second period, but returned at the start of the third. He injured his left leg after absorbing a clean, but very hard hit from Johan Franzen along the boards in the neutral zone. Crosby had trouble putting weight on his foot as he glided to the bench before limping down the runway to the dressing room.

Marc-Andre Fleury made some memrobale saves in the last few seconds denying Detroit’s final attempts to force overtime. Both Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom had point-blank shots that Fleury was able to stop with his leg pad and then finally lunging across the crease to get his blocker on a quick wrist shot by Lidstrom. Evgeni Malkin, who finished first in the playoff scoring was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
