Hi all,
As I'm sure most of you know that Sidney Crosby has a running streak of points scored in a game. His streak is at an amazing 25 games and counting with at least one point whether that be assists, or goals in a game. He kept the streak going in a big way in their game yesterday against Atlanta. In the game Crosby had 2 points scored in that game along with an assist and a goal to help the Pens pick up a big win 6-3.
The Pens season, though it got off to a rocky start has picked up as of late. They were on and impressive 13 game winning streak and then sadly it had to end to the hands of Philadelphia. The Pens quickly rebounded and got back to their winning ways. Everyone predicted that the Pens would have a great season this year with the opening of their new stadium, but no one could have predicted it going this well. They have a commanding lead in their division and also are leading the Eastern Conference.
None of this, the winning, leading the division as well as the Conference could be possible without Sidney Crosby. The Pens have one more game against the Islanders before they play the Capitals on New Years for the Winter Classic. This is basically a home game for the Pens. It is outside where the weather will be a factor in the game for both teams. They are calling for freezing rain and snow for the duration of the game. We'll see how this affects Crosby and the Pens as well as Ovechkin and the Capitals. The puck is set to drop at 1pm eastern and I will be posting my comments to how the game went directly after so be looking for that as well. For all you Pens fans out there lets hope that the games ahead for Pittsburgh prove to be victorious as well as the streak for Sid the Kid to continue. We also hope to see Crosby pass one of the all time greats in the league Mario Lemieux who has a similar streak when he played in the league.
