"I'll be better," Crosby said Monday as the Penguins prepared to open their pre-season schedule against the Montreal Canadiens. "Maybe it doesn't mean getting the same amount of points, maybe it's less points, but I want to make sure I'm contributing to help the team.

Может наступит момент, когда оденет он вновь свитер с пингвином.

I was at the MTL-PIT game yesterday.

After a little scrum, Archer drops the glove but Rutuu (sp?) pusses out like he usually does and doesn't drop them. Both get minors.

Couple minutes after, on Archer's next shift, Therrien sends Laraque to get him. Archer, probably wanting to show he got balls, drops them with BGL and gets nailed in only 2 punches. He was bleeding and on the ground before anybody could really see a fight. And Laraque didn't hit him when he was on the ground but he could've. It was a one sided fight, not even close.

Carbonneau after the game tells to the press "I didn't have time to told him not to drop gloves ith Laraque". haha.. He also said "I hope Laraque is there to protect Crosby this year, and not Ruutu like he did tonight".

The kid (Archer) is probably regretting his decision now! He wasn't able to play since he got injured in the first, but he probably also has a swollen face this morning. Better luck next year!
