I, for one, would love to see Rabbit play the bongos on Crysby’s mangos.

I’m sick of all this crap.

There’s one message that’s going to be sent tonight (certainly only one that matters), and that is “We’re a better team than you are.” The question is who’s sending the message.

Sorry to mini-rant – and it’s a good quote and FanShot – but it’s all media-fueled fluff when this team (whose mental state is more fragile by the day) doesn’t need it.

Fake?

Last year, the night before the NHL award show in Toronto (yes, it’s televised here), I was at a nightclub where Ovechkin was partying. He got hammered and headed outside with some of his boys to head to the next stop. I was standing outside while my buddy had a cigarette when someone mentioned to Ovechkin that Malkin was also inside the club somewhere. Ovechkin’s response?

“Malkin’s here??? We’re going back inside so I can kick his Dracula-looking ass!!!” (paraphrased).

Crosby is the one player in the league who makes Schultz look like a bruising defenseman.
