On a night where the NHL's best players wore suits instead of sweaters, and walked on a red carpet instead of a sheet of ice, Sidney Crosby collected three more awards to add to his cabinet. Crosby's 104 points (36 g, 68 a) led the NHL, giving him his second Art Ross of his career.

These accomplishments may be overshadowed by the Penguins early exit in the playoffs and ... Read More

As a result Haley’s job security is ... Read More
