"The Kid's" Growing Up`


Home ice makes a huge difference, doesn't it? The Pittsburgh Penguins tapped into the energy at the Mellon Center tonight to get the jump on Detroit, a 2-0 lead. They had to sweat it out until the final horn, but the Pens have managed to make the Stanley Cup Finals relevant again, after looking lifeless and lost in the first two games. The most impressive thing about Game Three was Sidney Crosby's play. Not only did he score the game's first two goals, he virtually carried the team on his back. Crosby, still only 20-years old, is growing up right before our eyes.
"No doubt you're looking for your best player to bring his "A" game, and Sid did that tonight," said Coach Michel Therrien after the game. Whether it was the prime time US spotlight, or the encouragement of the home fans, or maybe just the need to play desperate hockey, Crosby responded. I can't wait until game four Saturday to see if Crosby can pick up where he left off tonight.

Whaddaya think? Can the Penguins square this series with a win Saturday?

I'm more interested in the lacrosse accomplishments of the Bandits and Orange in the last couple weeks!

Do you think more people watched the college lacrosse championship, or tonight's hockey game?

Ummmmmm......NO

Second, I think Pittsburgh can even up this series. They have been very good at home lately.
