R.I.P. Penguins 2006/2007 Season

Ever since the Penguins were summarily dispatched by the Dave Matthew Band of hockey, the Ottawa Senators (heartless bastards with no love for a great story) I've been somewhat depressed about the world of sports. Sure, I've got College Hoops 2k7 and memories of World Cup soccer announcers saying "Seaman to Butt", but there's just something missing. Luckily I saw this story today:

"Sidney Crosby is among the candidates for Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world, known as the Time 100.

Voting is taking place right now here on Time.com. Crosby recently became the youngest player ever to win a scoring title in a major professional sport and is considered the fresh new face of the NHL."


You'll note that Daniel Alfredsson didn't make the list. I guess all the schoolchildren who he psychologically scarred don't count as having "real influence". Combine the Time list with the new Penguins arena, and there's hope for me yet.

This inflammatory diatribe is off-topic and clearly intended to hurt. I especially love how Crosby played the last several weeks with a broken leg, which, had the Penguins taken the Cup, would have been spun by the propaganda machine into a broken neck, cancer of the liver, and cooties. This is how the paper(s) might have read:

Sydney Crosby is God.

Oh, what might have been had the Pens not been severely outplayed.
