    In response to a caller who suggested hockey great Mario Lemieux be sent to the minors to "get into shape," Pittsburgh ESPN radio hockey guru Mark Madden replied with a great zinger:

    "Sure jerk, you're going to send the owner of the team to Wilkes-Barre. Thanks for the call, jackass!"

    Zing!

    I watched the Saturday's Flames-Penguins game with Allie, and other than the awesome game, great win, and good times the two things I did notice was that a.) Sidney Crosby really will be that good. and b.) Mario Lemieux is still very much a threat. He may be older, obviously, but I could never skate like he does now, let alone when I'm 40. In my mind, the people of Pittsburgh should still be thanking their lucky stars a guy as good as Mario is willing to hitch everything to their town and hockey club. Consider, Mario has spent his entire career with the Pens, owns their franchise, and is instrumental in not only their storied Stanley Cup teams, but their current push towards becoming a contender on the ice as well as remaining solvent and a part of the community off the ice. And by the accounts of today's Globe and Mail article I'm grabbing this story from, Pittsburgh is. Except that one jackass.
