Puck Headlines: Jagr dives back into Sidney Crosby controversy

By Greg Wyshynski

Here are your Afternoon Puck Headlines: A glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media.

• The sore subject of Sidney Crosby and diving continues to draw New York media attention. This time, the story involves Jaromir Jagr telling Crosby on the ice to stop diving and stay on his feet "according to a couple of rinkside witnesses." Yet, at the same time, he believes Crosby "probably deserved some preferential treatment from referees" because he's a star. So, in summary, don't dive because you deserve to get all the calls. Got it. [New York Daily News]

• Who is your favorite Dallas Star? Everyone's going to say Larry Hagman or Patrick Duffy; sorry, but I'm a Victoria Principal man. [Stars Blog]

• Speaking of the Stars: Is Mike Ribeiro Mike Modano’s Joe Nieuwendyk? [The Hockey News]

• The NHL's ice-making guru wants to know if, perhaps, the chemistry of the current puck used in games has been changed over time. Great, just what hockey needs: A juiced puck controversy. Ick. [TSN]

• Do you enjoy acting in goofy skits that ridicule teams located south of Washington D.C.? Because the Capitals are looking for a mascot. [Hockey Jobs]

• How a Sooners football fan found himself on the hockey bandwagon. [Red Dirt Kings]

• Little shake-up for the Habs: Guillaume Latendresse will replace Mathieu Dandenault in Game 3. That's a whole lot of vowels right there. [Off the Posts]

• Finally, Lowetide takes a look at the growing "Moneypuck" trend in hockey that continues with the hiring of Vancouver's new GM. [Lowetide]

    I had a girlfriend whose bikini wax looked just like Jagr's facial hair. Please, Pittsburgh, sweep the series. I get a boner every time there's a closeup of Jagr on tv. Besides pissing off my current GF, do you have any idea how difficult it is to sit through an entire game with an erection??

    @ NEW YORK RANGERS: Stop all the complaining & whining about Crosby. It's really disgusting how you continually say "The refs are bad", "Crosby is diving", "Our goal should have counted bc it was a quick whistle"
    STOP IT.......Your team is being outplayed because the Pens young guns are too good. Stop being a bunch of
    MONA'S & accept your fate. You need to win 4 out of the next 5. Lowe's is having a big sale on brooms.
    PENS IN 5. GO PENS GO.........

    Hey Kobayashi (#4 post):
    You need a girlfriend - one that can help take the edge off. You must move to Pa. in order to qualify for being so bitter. GO PENS!

    Jagr should just go play soccer! Then he can have a whole new line of coaches to frustrate. Jagr was great in his day but really has done nothing without Mario! That is a fact! Sorry Rangers should have spent your money wiser! Avery can do nothing but cheat and take cheap shots away from the play at our stars. Get real guys I really have alot of respect for hockey players and the way they handle themselves ON and OFF the ice,but really the way the Rangers are acting is down right immature. GROW UP ALREADY. ( oh, yeah they are already old men and can't keep up with the young guns of the pens) Go Pens !!!

    Well... we believe Rangers are stronger but they should more concentrate and spend thier energy on game than on this kind b...s.... :)))
    Guys you are better, just do your job and don't pay attention on those "pepsi shmepsi stars".
    This game is for men not crying babies.
