Krendelev Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=597541 They will announce either a.) Sidny Crosby is pregnant with Gary Bettman's love child b.) Crosby is coming back c.) Crosby is retiring What's your guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 d.) Crosby's a paraplegic. That's what I'm hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 LOL Mike you're horrible, but so am I for laughing. In all honesty, I think it's to say he's retiring. Why else would they hold a presser with Bettman in the house? I would think if he were coming back, the team would just feed it to the media and we'd know about it already. I have to think that's what they mean by "major announcement"....As much as I hate the guy, I'd hate to see someone's career end like that, especially with Staal having the same injury.

Krendelev Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I found it strange that the mayor of Pittsburg was included in the announcement. Why would he be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 e) Winter Classic on February 13th against the Capitals at Heinze Field...the Rematch f) All of the above I am going with F! (I honestly have no clue if the Pens are playing the Caps on Feb 13...I made it up before you guys go and check ) Seriously though, its either a Draft announcement or ASG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krendelev Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Or maybe they've descided to flip a giant middle finger at the fans of the Flyers and Rangers and are moving the outdoor game to Pittsburg so Crosby can make his big return in it and it'll be against Washington so they can hype the Crosby/ Ovi rivalry. Or Bettman's retiring and Crosby is taking over his job. Or Reebok's contract has been recinded and we'll have real jerseys again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 ASGs do not necessarily alternate... 2001 and 2002 was in Col and LA, 04 Minny and 07 Dallas,'08 Atlanta, 09' Montreal, '11 Ottawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Pretty sure it's all to do with the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Lemieux comes out of retirement as Crosby retires. Gretzky follows suit and joins the Pen's. Its a sure thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 If they're announcing the Winter Classic in Pittsburgh instead, it won't be against Washington. It'll be a split squad match-up so that, no matter what happens, the Penguins win. That's what the NHL wants to see anyway, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nah, they're gonna bronze a Bettman-dropped deuce and make it an award. But what for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Lemieux comes out of retirement as Crosby retires. Gretzky follows suit and joins the Pen's. Its a sure thing! That'll go well with the theme of EA's NHL 12 where you can put retired players on any team you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIHFjerseycollector Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 although I couldnt care less about the Penguins. I hope it has nothing to do with Crosby retiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Ullman Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Draft. Draft. Draft. Draft. Draft. Draft. Draft. Draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesOfSteel Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 There would have been more buzz if it was about retiring, so I'm guessing some kind of charity or foundation building a centre in Pittsburgh related to concussions, sports and/or kids.

JeffB Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think they've realized the Flyers don't have a throwback jersey they can make for this year's winter classic and it's being moved to Pittsburgh for marketing and merchandising purposes. especially with Carter and Richards gone and Pronger out hurt.

Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Sooo.... what happend?? I missed the conference. Is Crobsy grafted from Lemieux's DNA in the end or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 They renamed the city of Pittsburgh Crosbysburgh. http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=bj3jfubezb9zotetjw7pfg1md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
