Just wanted to let you know how things went down when Greg was getting his interviews that afternoon.  I was walking around the upper concourse with my buddy to get to my our seats when Greg stepped in front of me saying he's looking for some Crosby fans (my jersey and hat I'm guessing made me a dead giveaway) to talk to and asks me if I'd do a quick interview.  I 90% recognized him because I check out his blog every once in a while as well, so I said sure.  He started out asking general questions, why I liked Crosby blah blah blah but I quickly informed him I'm actually a bigger Malkin fan than Crosby, but I appreciate both for the different things they do.  At this point he actually jobbed me for being a Malkin fan but wearing Crosby gear, so I was forced to inform him that college kids don't exactly have the budget to drop $150 on a jersey whenever they damn well please.

I went on to tell him how I love the talent and individual moves and unbelievable shot that Geno awes crowds with, but I also love the way Crosby sees plays develop before everyone on the ice and how he's a the most cerebral player I've watched in recent years, citing the numerous passes that seem to surprise even his teammates seemingly every game.  Conveniently, that part of my roughly 3-4 minute interview was left on the cutting room floor.  He was obviously fishing for certain digs at Crosby, trying to coax Pens fans to admit Sid is a whiner and that he gets a lot of undeserved hype.

go pens.
