    I really do believe that Conklin can carry us through to the playoffs and beyond. Everyone expected them to make a deal when Fleury went down but this guy has been unreal. And he's been around a while so it's not like the other teams hadn't seen him and need to make adjustments or anything. Plus, it's always a good sign when your former teams can't beat you... lol

    I like seeing Conklin play well, because I don't particularly like the oft-overrated Fleury.
    Roberts is out with a broken leg (ouch!) but the boids are still on fire.

    The team has 7 in a row, and I think Conks has all of them.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby injures ankle while crashing into boards, leaves ice in pain

    By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer

    PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby injured an ankle while crashing into the rear boards leg-first midway through the first period of Friday night's game against Tampa Bay, and will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time.

    Crosby was favoring his right leg as he was helped off the ice, in visible pain, but the Penguins said only that he would be re-evaluated Saturday. The Penguins play at Montreal that night, but Crosby will be seen by team doctors in Pittsburgh.


    The injury -- a high ankle sprain -- can sideline an athlete for a month or longer. Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury sustained the same injury Dec. 6 and has yet to return, and it may be well into February before he comes back.

    Such a sprain would be certain to cause Crosby to miss the NHL All-Star game Jan. 27 in Atlanta.

    Crosby was carrying the puck in the Lightning end when Tampa Bay defenseman Paul Ranger rammed him with his stick, as Crosby was shooting from the right circle, and Crosby swiped at the puck again as he landed on the ice rear-end first. His momentum caused him to slam into the boards awkwardly with his right leg, his left leg raised, apparently unable to cushion himself as he normally would.

    Crosby initially got to his feet and began to limp toward the Penguins bench, only to turn around and enter a doorway that leads to the tunnel to the Penguins locker room. He bent over after reaching the walkway and had to be helped to the dressing room.

    Ranger was called for slashing on the play, but the Penguins did not score on the ensuing power play.

    Crosby, the NHL's scoring champion and MVP at age 19 last season, had moved into a tie with Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk and Tampa Bay's Vincent Lecavalier with 63 points going into Friday night's games. Crosby had five goals and 15 assists in his previous 12 games.

    :(

    I guess it's a good thing they made a run when they did... hopefully they can stay afloat until Sid gets back. At least it looks like the Atlantic teams will beat up on each other pretty evenly so they shouldn't fall too far back.

    Well I don't like seeing players hurt, but at least he did it at a good time (I'm a Habs fan). I still think it's going to be painful to watch tonight...

    It is to bad that Crosby is injured but they still have a really good team. It will definately be a chance for Malkin to show his talent and become more of a leader. In the long run I think this could actually be a good thing for the team. To win the games they are going to need everybody to contribute. If Crosby can come back to a team that doesn't rely upon him so heavily I think they will have a better chance in the playoffs.

  • Since all the other hockey threads seem to be bumped up figured I would bump this one as well. Playing pretty well even without Crosby. Hopefully we can smoke the Flyers tomorrow. The Rangers did it today so it shouldn't be that hard.
