He's just your ordinary heavyweight, willing to drop the gloves with anybody in the league. What? You heard me. Last night, Sidney Crosby had his first NHL dust-up with Bruins D Andrew Ference. We've seen Crosby get aggrevated in the past, but not to the point of fighting. He usually settles for the whining like a 10-year-old tactic when he feels he's been 'mistreated'. In the end, it's nice to see The Kid stand up for himself once in a while. It was also his first career Gordie Howe Hat-trick; scoring once and collecting 2 helpers on goals by Evgeni Malkin.

Marian Gaborik of the Minnesota Wild scored 5 times last night against the New York Rangers, becoming the first player in 11 years to score 5 times since Sergei Fedorov did it in 1996. He also set a franchise record for goals scored at the same time. "Shades of Pavel Bure," said Wild forward Mark Parrish, a former teammate of Bure's with Florida. "It was just like watching Bure in the day. I mean, Gabby was banking them in out of the air, scoring on breakaways, skating through everybody, making highlight-film goals." Ironically, Gaborik's friends had sent him a video on YouTube of Bure's 5-goal night for Team Russia vs. Finland in the '98 Olympics Thursday morning. I guess it was meant to be. (Minneapolis-St.Paul Star Tribune) There's a very strange story coming out of Chapel Hill this week. Apparently, 3 UNC Tarheel football players were sexually assaulted by some real nasty broads and a naked dude holding a knife to their throat. Excuse me? I can't do this story justice. Check out The Big Lead and have a good laugh. I love this quote from the story: "The woman looks LARGE. Like maybe a deuce, deuce and a half." Or, one of the comments reads: "Who leaves a bar with those girls? If the one’s best friend is Crack, the other is Cheeseburger. Damn guys, you play football. Now at UNC being a football player might not get you J.J. Reddick type ass, but you can do better."
I don't care who ya are, that's funny.
