Two extraordinary articles that are extraordinarily different

Laughing and crying:

The Pensblog knocks it out of the park with a heel turn for Sidney Crosby. TPB usually kicks ass (they do, after all, share the same initials as the penultimate Canadian mockumentary "Trailer Park Boys") but this post is just unmatched. Laughingmyassoffblog.

On the other end of the spectrum, check out this well-written ode to the oft-injured Buffalo Sabres center Tim Connolly. Along with the unlikely comeback of Steve Sullivan, it's hard to argue with putting puck partisanship aside and rooting for a guy who's faced such tough luck.

Just had to pass along those two links since they dwarfed even some interesting stuff in the previous News Cycle.
