"It's not the biggest city, but it's a city I really like."

I've got a lot of Sid-tastic links for you today! Well, actually they came from several Friends of The Show...

• Michelle B. - Sidney Crosby: This no Pitt stop (Today's title comes from this article.)
• Stagerat & Lauren H. - Penguins' Crosby not pulling a LeBron (This is nearly the same article as the previous one, but this one is written for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.)
• Carlie D. - Vote for the Greatest NHL Captain of the New Millenium (Siddo is in second place. You can vote once per day.)
• Stagerat & Jan M. - Crosby Answering All Questions (Take that, Semin!)
• Michelle - Penguins Shop for Project Bundle-Up
• Michelle sent in a video of the Project Bundle up article:

• Stagerat - Crosby, Ovechkin Receive NHL Honours
• Michelle - Penguins Crosby named NHL player of week (Post Gazette)
• Stagerat - Crosby named first star of the NHL's 'Three Stars' (Tribune Review)
• Stagerat & Kellie D. found this video tribute to Sid honoring his First Star Status on the Pens' website:

I got an update from Friend of The Show Jan about the Mario Lemieux Foundation auctions for her drawings:

Just wanted to report that the bidding is over for my two drawings and I am so pleased that one brought in $200 for the foundation and the other brought in $210 for The MLF. How cool is that? Again, thank you for letting me be a part of the family of Friends of the Show! I think it's cool that the first drawing I ever did of our Captain that was featured on YOUR site went for the top price of the two.

Once again - congratulations, Jan! $410 for the MLF! I'm so proud of you! :)

Finally today, I received this e-mail from Friend of The Show Lauren a few days ago:

It was snowing at my house yesterday before I left to drive back to Ohio for class, and I should've been working on a paper, but instead I took a break to take my dog Emma and Sidney Penguin outside for a couple of pictures! :) Enjoy!

Look at how sweet Emma is:







What a pretty puppy!!! Big thanks go out to Michelle, Carlie, Stagerat, Kellie, Jan, and Lauren for their contributions to today's post. Tomorrow I'll have some amazing game day pics for you.
