NHL Skill Competition: Crosby out sick, Letang in shooting accuracy

Let’s use this as a thread if anyone is around tonight for the skills competition and wants to talk with your pals on Pensburgh. The event starts at 9 PM Eastern time.

Unfortunately, there won’t be any Sidney Crosby tonight, as is was announced earlier in the afternoon that the Penguins captain will have to bow out of the festivities tonight due to illness. As of now, Crosby is anticipating playing in the actual All-Star game tomorrow, bummer the weather and out tonight.

That leaves Pittsburgh’s other representative as the lone Penguin to compete tonight in Kris Letang.
