Coaches Word with Jason Skyland

Well you guys had a rocking game out there. You guys were able to overcome the fact that you didn't shut down Ovechkin, since he scored the Capitals only goals. Malkin good job on your second career hat trick. Marc-Andre, not that you didn't play well, but Dany, your playing next game against the Leafs. See you all at practise tommorow.

PREGAME COACHES WORD

Alright boys, we're playing the Toronto Make Beliefs tonight, and I expect a hard fought, high-scoring win. Sid, Geno, get the puck on net. Defenseman,(I'm looking at you Sergei, and you Kris), don't be afraid to jump up into the rush. Play hard, have some fun, and romp those ******* Leafs!!

POST GAME WORD

I'm not too happy with the way you guys played, I mean, are you kidding me? You LOST to the freaking Maple Leafs.... unacceptable, we need to start racking up wins. I'm wondering if adding another winger to Sid's line wouldn't help.... a guy like Alex Semin maybe... All I know is, you all need to start playing some competitive hockey... Practice, 4:30AM sharp, tommorow morning. Disappointing game....

Re: *The Crosby Effect* A Penguins Dynasty 2.5

Good win Jet, need some standings though.

[GoldenJet]

Re: *The Crosby Effect* A Penguins Dynasty 2.5

I do them each month, but it won't appear till the end of NOVEMBER because you asked for the standings after I finished playing the end of October.

Re: *The Crosby Effect* A Penguins Dynasty 2.5

Interview with Coach Nick Barry

RP: So Nick, your team was off to a slow start against Ottawa in Sweden but now they are rocketing off, what did they have to change?

NB: Well we had to focus on putting those pucks in the net, the people who had to step it up did and they did pretty well.

RP: Now, we had heard rumors that you were off to Hawaii for a while, why back so soon?

NB: My girlfriend got sick, so we decided to come back to Pittsburgh.

RP: Well good luck with your next game.

NB: Thank you.

Re: *The Crosby Effect* A Penguins Dynasty 2.5

Sabourin gets call to play all of December

Skyland and Barry have decided that Dany Sabourin has waited long enough and that Marc-Andre Fleury should finally get a break as Dany Sabourin will start all of December. "What the heck, might as well keep him" Skyland was reported saying.

[GoldenJet]

Re: *The Crosby Effect* A Penguins Dynasty 2.5

Penguins look to gain powerforward player

"I noticed that I just added a third superstar that also needs protection, so I was like, well now i'm gonna add some serious fire power that can protect those guys" Skyland said at practise yesterday. Look for comebacks like Jarkko Ruutu or even Ryan Malone.

(Just to tell you guys, I forgot to post this, Ruslan Fedotenko was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for Kyle Calder. And I just added Teemu Selanne. Miroslav Satan, Pascal Dupuis and our 1st Round pick to Anaheim)
