As Jim Dunn explained last night.. having Flower back really added something "different" to the Penguins. And by "different", I really mean, "incredibly better". Geno is playing out of his mind (2 goals, 2 assists) and well, what else can be said about Sid's assist to Geno's empty net goal? That is why he is every one's favorite player.

Unselfishness.

Elsewhere in the Pittsburgh sports news universe.. Lanny Frattare has been officially replaced. Denver's Tim Neverett beat out over 200 others in the running. His resume includes 1000 minor league games and he most recently did play-by-play for the Rockies on Fox Sports Rocky Mountain as well as some work on the Versus network.

Good luck Mr. Neverett, you have some big shoes to fill.. no doubt about it.

More on these stories and others.. with what I woke up to, after the JUMP.

The PG: The PG talks about Tim Neverett.

The PG: Dave Molinari reviews the Pens game last night.. again, he is one of the best writers in Pittsburgh.

The Trib: The Trib explains the whole Rooney/Steelers ownership deal.

ESPN: I get the NFL Network.. in HD no less.. yet the games are never broadcast here. Apparently it's an issue with my cable company. Lame. So here is the recap of the Colts/Jags from last night.. spoiler alert, the Colts are FO REAL.

SI: The greatest photographs from Sports Illustrated this past year.. awesome and worth the click.

Have a great weekend everybody, I will be back if anything big breaks..
