LINK CITY: Torts, Crosby, Burkle, Santa...
We would take John Tortorella as a head coach every day of the week. Forget last year's 24/7. Tortorella's presence in this year's 24/7 is going to win an Emmy. Here's the Thornton-Tortorella saga in 65 seconds:
-Dejan gives everyone a look at Sidney Crosby. Good read, as far as Crosby quotes go. [ Trib ]
-The Flyers aren't happy about the proposed realignment, either. [ Trib ]
READ MORE: Ron Burkle, an amazing watch, Santa Claus...
Little-known fact at Burkle's Wiki page: He invested $100mill in Puff Daddy's clothing line.
-Good read on Brooks Orpik. [ Everything Pittsburgh ]
-Check out this watch @PenguinsMarch found on eBay. The thing even plays the national anthem at game time. $99.95. There's probably an app for this.
-Bruce Boudreau benched Ovechkin with the Caps' goalie pulled, needing a goal. The Caps got it. Now everyone is going crazy. [ WaPo ]
-Some dude dressed as Santa Claus terrorizing Donora. [ Freak Show ]
