PENGUIN NEWS AND NOTES

Doing what the Steelers couldn't, the Penguins managed to win the first two games of their post-championship campaign this weekend with victories over both New York teams. On Saturday, highly-touted rookie John Tavares had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, but Sidney Crosby reminded the world that he's Sidney Crosby and won it for the Penguins in a shootout. Enjoy the belated highlights (above) and fights (below) responsibly.
