More History for Sidney Crosby, “Fixing” Ville Koivunen, and Who’s Next in Net? | TOTIB Mailbag
Q: Does Sidney Crosby join Wayne Gretzky and Yaramir Yager as the only players to be top five all time in total points, goals, and assists?
There's a good chance he could. He is close to being top five in points and assists, but it depends on how long he plays to see if he can get into the top five for goals.

Q: When do we see Yol Blomkvist get a chance?
He should be called up in two weeks to replace whoever struggles more between the current goalies, which are not performing well right now.
