Penguins
-Welcome home Sidney Crosby (above).
-The Penguins might be looking to unload Marc-Andre Fleury:
-Crosby apparently borrowed Garth Snow's old equipment for that game.
-Crosby visiting a children's hospital:
-Crosby visiting the Canadian Navy and autographing a helicopter:
-Crosby on like the third firetruck ever made:
-Maxime Talbot tagged along on Crosby's parade and got stuck with the Prince of Wales Trophy:
-Phil Pritchard, the "keeper of the Cup," pretty much said Crosby's parade was the largest celebration for an individual Cup-winner he's ever been apart of.
-And estimated 80,000 souls turned out for the parade:
-Crosby followed the footsteps of former Ducks defenseman Joe DiPenta.
-Happy 59th birthday to former Penguins forward Greg Polis (right) who was the first Penguin to win an All-Star Game MVP in 1973.
-Happy 53rd birthday to former Penguins antagonist Gary Rissling who led the team with 297 penalty minutes in 1983-84.
Northwest Division
-From the "WHY!?!" department, former Flames forward Theo Fleury is considering making a comeback to the NHL.

As if kids across the country didn't have enough reason to be jealous of Sid, he got to ride a helicopter, a fire truck and an APC for his Birthday. That's way better than a pony.
Gary Rissling is having a Birthday Party too? Styrofoam cups BEWARE!
I want a Rissling jersey for my Birthday. And a hoodie.
That's a funny picture of Polis, given how thin he looks. He was actually an overweight slug.
