EXTRA POINTS

The NHL and the NHLPA are meeting again today. Sid is attending along with Pens’ player rep Craig Adams. Could we see the beginning of a thaw on both sides? Let’s hope so.  I’m tired of keeping my Penguins gear on ice.

 After what he considers a thorough and complete investigation, Bob Nutting has decided to retain his front office personnel. However, in a concession to the fan’s uproar over the military-style training of the minor leaguers, he has axed said program. Of course Bottom Line Bob wouldn’t fire anyone still under contract.  Is this enough to get the Pirates on the right track? The jury is still out on this one.
