Nhl Scoring Title

[Golfbum]

So both Crosby and Thornton have 7 & 6 games respectively left in the regular season.
Crosby currently leads Thornton by 4 points for the Scoring Title.
Joe has been on a tear lately, racking up multiple points games. Do you think he can catch Crosby and retain his title?

The Pens face these teams to finish the season
Bruins, Capitals, Bruins. Leafs ( EASY POINTS ) Sabres, Sens (Come on EMERY!) and the Rangers. Four games on the road.

Big Joe & Company face the Kings, Coyotes, Kings, Ducks Flames and Canucks. Only one of those games is a road game, against the Ducks.

I like the fact that Joe has played in every game this year, depsite some injuries. He suffered a broken toe, a broken finger, then strep throat and finally a pulled groin. Never missed a practice either.

CheeChoo was hurt during the early part of the season, so that kept Joe off the score sheet somewhat. He currently has 31 goals, way down from last season.

Most of you know who I am cheering for
GO JOE GO

I'm rooting for the kid. I think it would be great to see him win the scoring title (and MVP honours). I have a feeling he will catch fire over the last few games.

I'm rooting for Joe. I'm not a fan of Crosby's. I was happy Ovechkin won rookie of the year when they both came into the league. I like him more as an all-round player and find him more interesting to watch.

The Pens go have a good team and everything is clicking for them right now though. Smart move bringing in Laracque and Roberts at the trade deadline.

Going for Sid the Kid. Not only does he have all the tools to be the "Real" "Next One", but also has the same character which made Wayne such a great Ambassador of the game. Read the article in the paper when the Pens were leaving Scotiabank from a morning practice and it was -42 C windchill. There were some fans waiting behind security lines to hopefully meet him. Sid motioned for them to come to the team bus, but security would not let them past. So Sid the Kid walked a fair distance from the team bus with a light jacket and nothing on his head to sign autographs and pose for pictures. When asked about why he would go to the trouble considering the weather, he just looked at the reporter and said these people waited alot longer than I did, just to meet me.

Good to hear stories like this.

The gap is 7 points now after Crosby and the Pens lit up the Bruins this afternoon. Only 6 games left for each now. Joe better get on his horse if he wants to repeat.
