Looks like a real hockey rink, huh? No poles to get in your way of watching the game either...


Hmmm...does RRC Exterior Rendering "B" kinda look like the Imperial logo is on the grounds?? Or is that just me?

 

Ummm, I know what you're getting at there, but...

You can't compare apples and oranges.

Thank GOD they'll be moving out of the cow palace.

 

Selanne a Duck...again

And Atlanta traded Heatly to Ottawa for Hossa?

 

That new arena is going up right down the street from my house. Awesome!

 

So we can park at your house and walk to the games???

 

cool...did you see the Imperial logo that it sits on? Well, kind of...

 

Of course!! Beer at my house is cheaper than at the game too. I just said beer

 

mmmmmmm.....Beeer.....

 

I haven't been to Tingley for a hockey game, but that new arena is going to kick Tingley's butt.

 

You haven't missed much \.. Of Tingley, anyway...

 

We could have before or after parties at my house too. I'm about 5 minutes away from there. We could park here and pile into a few larger vehicles and hit the arena! Where do you live Matt? I'm on 2nd and Rainbow. A few minutes from Scott and Tara.

 

Penguins formally announce Crosby signing

By JOE MANDAK, Associated Press Writer
September 9, 2005
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins made it official Friday, signing No. 1 draft pick Sidney Crosby to an $850,000 contract with performance bonuses that could double his salary.

Crosby has been touted as potentially the league's greatest player since the Penguins' own Mario Lemieux. The rookie also figures to be the new lifeblood of a small-market franchise Lemieux has already resuscitated several times as a player and owner.

The amount of Crosby's contract is a formality under the NHL's new collective bargaining agreement limiting first-year players to $850,000 in salary and $850,000 in bonuses. Crosby could earn even more money, but would have to win the rookie of the year, the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP or be the league's scoring leader to gain additional bonuses from the Penguins and the league.

The Penguins open training camp Tuesday with a week's worth of practice before moving camp to the arena of their minor-league affiliate in Wilkes-Barre.

Crosby will make his NHL debut Oct. 5 -- Lemieux's 40th birthday -- at New Jersey.
