During the last practice in Pittsburgh before the holiday break, Sidney Crosby brought cookies to the rink along with, of course, some banana bread – “his mom’s famous recipe,” Marcus Pettersson said with a grin. “He’s got a little addiction,” Kris Letang added.

Crosby bakes for the group periodically throughout the season, one of many thoughtful gestures the Penguins captain makes for his teammates – impressive from anyone, much less someone of his stature. During this season of giving, Pettersson and Rickard Rakell had been marveling at the captain’s generous nature that very day.

“Me and Raks were actually just joking around about how good he is with giving gifts,” Pettersson said. “I don't know if he has a thought behind it about when he retires, that he is expecting a lot of gifts back from everybody (laughs). But I don't think so. I think he’s just a great guy.”

Crosby goes above and beyond to mark occasions for the people around him, whether it’s a holiday, a career achievement, or simply a memorable experience. His capacity to do all of that, in addition to continuing to be an elite talent at age 36 and an unparalleled leader, is remarkable.

Evgeni Malkin, Crosby’s fellow franchise center and teammate for nearly two decades, said, “It’s almost like he’s the perfect player, perfect friend. Some guys win just one Stanley Cup, they think they’re like a god, you know? But Sid, never. You see everybody wants to play here, first of all, it’s because of Sid.”

Letang joked that he wasn’t going to use the word perfect, “because there’s nothing perfect,” he laughed. “But he always makes sure everybody is taken care of, and they’re having a good time. He loves to get to know people. For me, what he did for my dad last year… the banana bread stuff… it’s just a way of looking at things, you never want to leave some people behind. There’s not a specific gesture that comes to mind, because it’s such a daily thing for him.”

Tyson Barrie, was touched by something the captain did for his agent, Bayne Pettinger, who had previously worked for Team Canada. Pettinger had been sitting with Crosby at another one of those BioSteel camps, which was in Montreal. At the time, Pettinger had recently come out as gay and mentioned in passing to Crosby how he thought the Pride warmup jerseys were so cool.

“Bayner FaceTimed me a couple months later, almost in tears,” Barrie said. “The concierge at his condo called him and was like hey, there’s a big package here for you, can you come down and grab it? Turns out Sid had gotten a Pride jersey framed for Bayner. He wrote, ‘Bayner, proud of you.’ That’s the kind of guy he is. You'll never hear about any of this stuff. He's just always doing stuff under the radar. He’s just a special guy.”

merry christmas! here’s a sweet little story about canadian hockey star sidney crosby

[goaliekisses]

woof juicy news day for us pens fans. not only do we have sidney crosby’s Seduction of kyle dubas, now we have this article on Why Hextall Sucks (and how he pissed off even sidney crosby) + some angsty Geno details that i will only relish now that he’s still with us:

Early last summer, at his spacious home in Montreal, Kris Letang finally saw the document that secured his future in Pittsburgh.

No stranger to the multi-page, standard player contract, this one was particularly special. It was his fourth, and probably his last. It contained specific elements Letang and his agent required. One line read “six years.” Another read “$36.6 million.” The line that Letang really loved?: “full no-movement clause.”

Together, those words recommitted Letang and the Penguins, the only NHL franchise he had ever known. At 35, he would finish his career in Pittsburgh.

As word spread last July 7, Letang’s phone blew up. The flood of well-wishers included teammates past and present, various Penguins personnel he’d befriended over his previous 16 seasons, and family and friends. He took only a few calls. Among them: Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, his oldest and dearest teammates in Pittsburgh, who were thrilled for him.

Crosby, the Penguins captain and franchise icon, had made it clear to general manager Ron Hextall and president of hockey operations Brian Burke as far back as the 2021 offseason that he wanted the team to re-sign impending free agents Letang and Malkin so the three veterans and lifetime Penguins could take another shot at a Stanley Cup together.

Would Crosby pressure ownership to sign Malkin and Letang? “I’ve never wanted to be GM,” Crosby said. “I think they know how I feel.”

While the negotiations with Letang took longer and were more difficult than expected, Hextall’s discussions with Malkin had turned dark. Only days before the start of free agency last summer, Letang, Crosby and coach Mike Sullivan worked overtime trying to calm Malkin, who was stewing over lowball early contract offers, limited communication with Hextall and veiled public shots from Burke.

“How bad is it?” Letang asked Crosby about the state of Malkin’s emotions and the negotiations.

“Pretty bad,” Crosby said.

Hextall first irritated Malkin late in the 2021-22 season by offering a short-term contract extension to his agent, J.P. Barry. In the offseason that animosity built as weeks passed without a follow-up conversation from Hextall. On June 17, Hextall told Barry that the team’s offer was “take-it-or-leave-it,” and the next day Burke used those words to characterize the negotiations during multiple media interviews. Not surprisingly, Malkin, a sure Hall-of-Famer, went from annoyed to insulted.

For weeks leading up to and after Letang’s deal was finalized, Malkin stewed at home while Crosby, Letang and Sullivan checked in with him from afar. With no deal in sight, Malkin began speaking to his small inner circle as if his time with the Penguins was concluding.

Hextall fielded daily questions from Fenway Sports Group brass about why Malkin hadn’t yet been re-signed. Hextall was also taken aback by the barrage of calls and texts — from Penguins alternate governor Dave Beeston, from Crosby and Sullivan, from president of business operations Kevin Acklin — after reports surfaced that Malkin would test free agency. He told his agent he wanted to “show Hextall and Burke” by trying the open market.

Malkin had joked during the ’21-22 season that he was “a rich guy,” insisting he didn’t need to worry about money on his next contract. He was having a laugh, but was also somewhat serious. He had taken less than market value on two previous deals with the Penguins and expected that trend to continue on his final NHL contract.

He was about to turn 36. He wanted to play until he was 40. He sought a contract with a no-trade clause. But more than money, he needed the Penguins to show they really wanted him, something he felt was lacking, especially from Hextall. By July 11, 2022, Malkin was convinced he’d already practiced in Cranberry for the last time.

After tucking in their son, Nikita, Malkin and his wife, Anna, sat on their leather couch and looked at a summary sheet of Hextall’s latest offer: four seasons, $24.4 million total, a full no-movement clause.

Malkin was fine with what he read. The sticking point was his bruised feelings.

“They not think I good player,” Malkin wrote in a text message to Crosby.

“They not want me,” Malkin texted to Letang, who had stepped up efforts to console Malkin after signing his deal.

Malkin wanted to stay in Pittsburgh, but he no longer trusted either Hextall or Burke. Crosby and Sullivan intervened. Each spent hours on the phone with Malkin as July 11 became July 12. Careful not to tell him what to do, Crosby and Sullivan implored Malkin to “not worry about those guys” — Hextall and Burke — when making a final decision. Letang, too, jumped into the mix. Together, two-thirds of the Big Three and their coach brought up every special moment, funny story and great time they could remember to remind Malkin what they had built in Pittsburgh. Malkin paced from room to room at his condo in Fisher Island, finally beginning to feel wanted again.

As early morning shifted to late afternoon, Malkin had heard enough to make a decision. He called his agent, Barry, with instructions to re-engage with Hextall and take the offer. Upon calling, Barry was surprised to find a receptive Hextall.

After hanging up with Barry, Hextall bragged to his assistant GM, Chris Pryor, and a handful of staffers, that he “got him on my terms — that’s how you negotiate.” Malkin informed Crosby, Letang and Sullivan that he was staying. When talking to Crosby and Letang, Malkin sounded happy for the first time in a long time.

“We win next year,” Malkin told his friends. “Big year get back Cup.”

also these bits 🥺

After McGinn was put on waivers, he played a memorable final game with the Penguins, blocking shots and setting up Crosby for a dramatic tying goal in the third period. In the locker room afterward, his soon-to-be-former teammates named him player of the game, eliciting a massive roar from the group that could be heard through closed doors.

Hextall traded Teddy Blueger during the same trip. In the middle of a dinner with the players’ fathers, arranged by Crosby at Bern’s Steakhouse in Tampa, Blueger learned via social media that he had been dealt to Vegas. He and his dad abruptly left the restaurant. Crosby rushed to console his now former teammate and after a few minutes returned to the dinner. “That’s not how we do things in Pittsburgh,” he said. Crosby remained mostly quiet the rest of the night.

…Long after most of their teammates had left the locker room after the demoralizing 5-2 defeat, the Big Three remained.

Malkin was emotional, his voice rising as he spoke. He had been dreaming of his beloved parents, Natalia and Vladimir, returning to Pittsburgh for another postseason run. Instead, they’d stay in Russia.

Letang, in the adjacent corner of the room, spoke thoughtfully and contemplatively. He had been through hell and back all season, and the Penguins’ loss was another blow.

Then there was Crosby, who sits at the center of an arc of connected lockers. The Penguins captain, with gray hairs that seemed to grow more plentiful throughout the season, sat stoically. After finishing interviews, Crosby sat by himself, staring straight ahead before slowly walking out of the locker room.

sorry need to add the header too because i would totally watch this telenovella

UCONN MATT WOOD SELECTED IN NHL DRAFT

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - On the first day of the NHL draft, the Nashville Predators selected UConn's Matt Wood at number 15. Wood slipped down a bit further than he was expected to be selected partly because Anaheim, picking at number two, and the Arizona Coyotes at number six, made surprise choices that gave some other teams an opening to select differently than they had wanted or planned to. Speaking to ESPN's Emily Kaplan right afterward, Wood was very complimentary of his UCONN coaches led by Mike Cavanaugh. "(I was) really happy to be there and play for my coaches and they helped me to get ready for this." Wood was the fifth UCONN player since joining Hockey East to be drafted. He wore #71 for his idol Evgeni Malkin. In speaking to Kaplan, incoming Nashville GM Barry Trotz, who's replacing the retiring David Poile, was succinct in his initial evaluation, "Short term, we'll let him develop (back at UCONN). We look at the profile; he's a big body that can score. He's got a long way to go. If you wanna go far in the playoffs, you gotta score. We hope he'll exhibit (his scoring) and he checks all the boxes." Nashville has two former Huskies under their umbrella, Czechs Jachym Kondelik, the Huskies all time-assist leader, and goalie Tomas Vomacka, who they both drafted and played in the minors with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) and the Florida Everblades (ECHL), respectively. Wood played very solidly as a 17-year-old freshman. He led the Huskies in scoring with 34 points in 35 games. Wood was superb in the IIHF U-18 bronze medal game for Canada with the game-tying goal in the last minute with the goalie pulled and made a beautiful feathered short pass to Macklin Celebrini for the game-winner in OT 4-3 win over Slovakia. Wood had a three-point performance, garnering a plus-12 and 13 points in just seven games in the tournament. He will return to Storrs next season, be among the top players in Hockey East, and is WJC eligible for Canada. He turned down an offer from the WHL Regina Pats, who drafted him and ex-Pack championship head coach, the current Regina head coach and VP of Hockey Operations John Paddock, to play there and with the first overall selection, Connor Bedard. Instead, Wood chose to come to UCONN and chart his course. At 6'4, he surpassed Tage Thompson as the highest-drafted Husky ever. A total of 10 Huskies have been drafted in the short Hockey East history of the program. RANGERS SELECTIONS The Rangers drafted 23rd overall and selected were able to have a strong player fall to them in Gabriel (Gabe) Perreault. He has lots of offensive upside potential and is heading to Boston College (HE) with linemates Will Smith (San Jose) and Ryan Leonard (Washington). They were together on the USNDTP (USHL) last fall. All three will face Wood at the XL Center when BC comes to play UConn at the XL Center in a marquee matchup. Perreault broke the team record for scoring held by Auston Matthews with 159 points. "It's cool because he's one of the guys I look up to and one of those guys to look up above you," said Perreault to ESPN. Hockey is a big part of the Perreault family. His sister Liliane just completed her collegiate career at Mercyhurst (Erie, PA) (AHA), and his brother Jacon plays with San Diego. His father, Yanic Perreault, is the skills development coach in Chicago and, for eight consecutive seasons, held the NHL's best faceoff percentage at an average of 62.89%. He played 859 games with three tours in Toronto, LA, Nashville, and his hometown Montreal. NOTES: UCONN got another commit for next season in New Hampshire native LW Ben Muthersbaugh, who played for the NJ Titans (NAHL) last year after spending time previously at Tilton School (NHPREP). Ex-Sound Tiger Paul Flache takes a second stab as an assistant coach with the Flint Firebirds (OHL) after being with Atlanta (USPHL Premier) for the last three years. Joining him is a former Ranger from the early-to-mid 1980s and two-time Stanley Cup winner in Edmonton making his North American return is Reijo Ruotsalainen. The 63-year-old Ruotsalainen had been coaching in Europe, though not over the last three years. His previous coaching assignment was with, Kiekko-Vantaa (Finland-Mestis) as an assistant coach. While he had a successful NHL career of 443 games and 344 points and was voted the best defenseman in the 1980 WJC (his third) tourney, had he been playing hockey today, he would rival Erik Carlsson of the San Jose Sharks in the skill game from the blueline in this more free-wheeling era of hockey. After leaving the NHL, he played in three World Championships, one Olympic tournament for Finland, and another 402 games in Europe (Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland). He hasn't been to North America since 2001 as an assistant coach with the long-defunct New Orleans Brass (ECHL), featured one-time Rangers head coach Ted Sator at the helm, and had former New Haven Senator Jeff Lazaro as a player. Ross Colton (Taft Prep), who scored the game-winning Cup-clinching goal three years ago for the Tampa Bay Lightning, was traded to the Colorado Avalanche. Connor Doherty (Sacred Heart University) re-signs with the Maine Mariners (ECHL). After four years in Denmark and nine in Europe, Mike Little of Enfield, the SonderyskE team captain last season, has left the team. Is this the end of the road for the 35-year-old, or is he likely to play a few more years in a new destination? Derek Barach (Salisbury School) heads from Ässät Pori (Finland-FEL) and takes the risky proposition and signs with Vityaz Moscow (Russia-KHL) to continue his European-only career. The newest college hockey program was announced at the Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee, the site of the NHL Draft. It will be the first at a historically black college and university (HBCU). The club will be Tennessee State and play at the ACHA club hockey division level. The coaching staff is yet to be determined. The project was an all-in process as the NHL, NHLPLA, and College Hockey Inc. were all involved. The program will start in the 2024-25 season with a look toward going varsity Division-1 level down the road, and it will be the first hockey at an HCBU, hopefully leading to more significant participation of Blacks, Latinos, and other ethnic groups in the sport of hockey in the US and around the world. The college hockey season is over by nearly three months activity continues as Quinnipiac University stands at the mountaintop. UCONN HOCKEY HOME Read the full article

Beco Diagonal

I believe in fairy tales and serendipitous encounters Me despedi do meu pai na porta do Caldeirão Furado e, enquanto ele ia resolver seus assuntos no centro de Londres, eu podia ir sozinha fazer minhas compras de material escolar. Trazia na mão minha carta de Hogwarts com a lista de livros e materiais que precisaria para esse ano e mais uma lista de compras pessoais que esperava conseguir fazer se sobrasse algum dinheiro. Depois de trocar meu dinheiro trouxa em Gringots, voltei pela rua parando em quase todas as lojas para ver as vitrines e que tipo de coisas interessantes elas vendiam. A minha curiosidade era tanta que muitas vezes não conseguia conter minha vontade de ver tudo "com as mãos". Fiz carinho nos bichinhos na vitrine dA Fauna Bruxa e saí tocando em todas as balanças em exposição na Mundial Balanças, me divertindo em mexer com o equilíbrio de todos aqueles mecanismos delicados. Finalmente parei diante da Farmácia Mullpeppers, onde precisava comprar meus ingredientes para poções. Perdi um segundo olhando os barris de ingredientes expostos na rua, haviam pedaços de animais e frutos secos estranhos vendidos a granel e o que mais me chamou atenção foi um que dizia ter olhos de besouro, que pareciam apenas várias bolinhas minúsculas. Sem pensar duas vezes, enfiei a mão toda dentro do barril e ao tirá-la trouxe junto um punhadinho de olhinhos minúsculos, que joguei no bolso da saia antes que alguém notasse. Depois disso entrei saltitante na loja, já apresentando a lista de ingredientes que precisaria para esse ano em Hogwarts. Saí minutos depois com uma sacola cheia de ingredientes curiosos, imaginando quais poções faria esse ano. Segui pela rua, continuando minhas compras.

***

Minha parada seguinte foi na Madame Malkin, onde precisava comprar novos uniformes pois os meus do terceiro ano já estavam pequenos demais. Segui a costureira até o fundo a loja onde ela tiraria minhas medidas, passando por um vários cabides com os mais diferentes tipos de roupas, entre robes, vestidos e capas. Logo avistei um casaco longo roxo berrante que chamou minha atenção e me aproximei para estudá-lo de perto, ao mesmo tempo que pegava no meu bolso o punhado de olhinhos de besouros que tinha "emprestado" na farmácia e passava para dentro de um dos bolsos do casaco. Em seguida me afastei tranquilamente e voltei a seguir a costureira. Depois de descobrir quais eram as peças ideais para o meu tamanho, a costureira ainda me ofereceu uma infinidade de acessórios nas cores da minha casa. Quase fiquei com o tradicional cachecol vermelho e dourado que via todos os veteranos usaram, mas concluí que seria mais econômico se pedisse para minha mãe me tricotar um, ou melhor ainda, se eu mesma aprendesse a tricotar para fazer meu próprio cachecol. Acabei então apenas com dois conjuntos de vestes pretas e um chapéu, já que não fazia ideia de onde tinha ido parar o meu antigo. Paguei a costureira contando as moedas uma a uma e, já que ainda não havia decorado quantos sicles faziam um galeão, ainda precisei de uma ajuda.

***

Minha última parada foi na Instrumentos de Escrita Scribbulus, só porque não podia resistir a uma loja de papelaria. Esperava encontrar materiais diferentes com alguma propriedade mágica, como tintas que mudassem de cor ou brilhassem e folhas de papel de cores diferentes ou com estampas que se mexessem. Mas em vez disso, só encontrei materiais que pareciam ser os mesmos de séculos atrás, como penas, tinteiros e pergaminhos. Enquanto passeava pela loja, fui distraidamente passando os dedos sobre as prateiras e produtos em exposição, todos cuidadosamente identificados com plaquinhas com seu valor. Inicialmente me interessei pelos tinteiros de tinta colorida, mas havia aprendido da pior maneira que era desastrada demais para esse material. Depois de várias blusas, cadernos e até mochilas manchadas de tinta, resolvi me contentar com canetas trouxas, que por sinal eram muito mais baratas e variadas. Me conformei em pegar apenas os pergaminhos pedidos na lista de materiais e enquanto esperava o dono da loja atender outro cliente, me ocupei embaralhando as plaquinhas de preços dos produtos que estavam ao meu alcance. Minutos depois, saía da loja com meus pergaminhos, já planejando pedir que meu pai me levasse até alguma papelaria trouxa que houvesse por perto.

[wehaveagathering]

ok hear me out. over the course of december we have won against:

dec. 2/4 crosby/malkin/letang/karlsson (twice) dec. 7 [the team that beat the last 5 stanley cup champions] dec. 9 nathan mackinnon and cale makar dec. 14 alex ovechkin dec. 16 patrick kane dec. 19 hughes bros nos. 2 & 3 dec. 28 hughes bro no. 1, elias pettersson, and brock boeser

but we have lost to

nashville, twice, whose big names are filip forsberg, tyson barrie and juuse saros, whose record now stands at 19-16-1 (39), just four points away from us, and who at the time were nearly even with us in the standings;

detroit, once, (another back-to-back OT loss) which has the kane-debrincat returning champions line for sure but had otherwise struggled overall; at the time kane had only played approximately five games with them. their current standing is 17-15-4 (38), 5 points away from us;

and now seattle, tonight's back-to-back OT loss, who as we know have struggled this season but are gaining momentum. they have decent players and some high draft picks but rn their top scorer is a defenseman – not a great look for their offense. they currently stand at 14-14-9 (37), six points removed from us.

what i guess i'm trying to get at is that teams relying on their flashy, talented forwards and elite goalscorers are not winning against the flyers, but teams that are putting their noses to the grindstone and churning out a rough-and-tumble victory, like us, are. we're our own worst enemy. so when you look across the ice and see a mirror, be prepared for a chippy game of hockey.

next on the docket: new years eve @ the calgary flames (14-16-5, 33 pts).

okay so are you guys seeing this thing the flyers have going on where we do really well against really good teams - Vancouver, second showing with VGK, second showing with canes - but poorly against people who are in similar or slightly lower standings to us? Preds, Wings, Seattle?

The limited series The Offer, currently streaming on Paramount+, recounts the making of director Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, The Godfather, as seen through the eyes of producer Albert S. Ruddy. In the fall of ’77 NBC broadcast The Godfather and its 1974 sequel, The Godfather Part II, which also won Best Picture — both films were adapted from Mario Puzo’s 1969 novel — as a limited series, although in those days “miniseries” was the preferred term: The Godfather: The Complete Novel for Television spanned nine hours (including commercials, of course) over the course of four nights and included scenes that hadn’t made it into the films’ theatrical cuts.

“Francis suggested that we begin very simply, putting everything into a strict chronology, starting with the scenes in Sicily and progressing through ‘Godfather I’ footage in New York up to the scenes in Nevada. We would weave in all the unused footage wherever it fit within that chronology,” said editor Barry Malkin, who’d previously edited The Godfather Part II with Richard Marks and Peter Zinner, in TV Guide’s November 12-18, 1977, cover story. 

“The whole painstaking assembly took about three months. And when we had finished we found that the chronological format, which we had done strictly as a starting point, worked quite well in its simple form. It was a logical method for presenting four shows and maintaining impact between them.” 

Coppola oversaw Malkin’s edit while filming Apocalypse Now (1979) in the Philippines. Malkin, along with Lisa Fruchtman and Walter Murch, later edited Coppola’s The Godfather Part III (1990) and, with Murch, The Godfather Trilogy: 1901-1980, a 1992 home-video release that combined all three films and previously unseen footage into a nine-hours-and-43-minutes viewing experience.
