If you haven't heard, Sidney Crosby will be back in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup this evening as the team hosts the New York Islanders. TSN sent several reporters via a small prop plane at the last minute to Pittsburgh to cover the event, just contributing to the media circus that's surrounding the game.
They say this Crosby guy is kind of a big deal.
Here's a full list of NHL.com's coverage today:
