Wednesday. Hump Day. Usually a relief to many, as the week is half-over. Probably not as much of a relief for Penguins fans nor sportsbook bettors, as the Capitals vs Penguins is happening tomorrow night and, unlike various players on both teams, it ain’t gonna be pretty.

(Well, okay, we can make an exception for drunk Alex. Vampire with a unibrow, lol)

Now look, here’s the big question, via article posted by my dear friend Anna: Why does Crosby play second fiddle? Unlike Anna, who’s a Malkin fangirl for some strange reason (though she and I DID meet through a Penguins forum years ago), I’m a Crosby girl through and through, and believe me, it’s been painful few weeks watching our dear Pens go down in flames.

But I know the Penguins still have it in them – even if the majority of Pittsburgh’s attention is on the Ravens vs Steelers line – and the sportsbook odds agree — with Gonchar returning and the Penguins fired up over their current losing streak, they should have enough juice left in ‘em to win over the Caps tomorrow. Let’s just hope we get a battle between Semin (boo!) and Crosby along with it. Sid will let Semin know where he can stick his wussy girly slaps.
