ACTION NEWS FOUR. THANKS. WELL, THE PENGUINS ARE COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TO TRAINING CAMP. AND TODAY, SOME OF THE PLAYERS SCORED OFF THE ICE. 16 TEAM MEMBERS HANDED HAND-DELIVERED PACKAGES TO SEASON TICKET HOLDERS TODAY. WE CAUGHT UP WITH CAPTAIN SIDNEY CROSBY IN SEWICKLEY. JIM ALTMAN HAS BEEN A SEASON TICKET HOLDER SINCE 1985, AND TELLS US SID AND THE TEAM ARE FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY. I THINK HE’S THE BEST ATHLETE WHO HAS COME TO TOWN SINCE I’VE BEEN AROUND. ANYWAYS, IN TERMS OF. AFFABILITY, CLASS AND AND TALENT. SO I THINK THAT IT’S VERY EASY TO SUPPORT THE PENS WHEN WHEN PLAYERS LIKE SID OR OR DOING THEIR THING. THAT WAS GREAT ENOUGH. BUT HOW ABOUT THIS? HE GOT AN ADDED SURPRISE TODAY WHEN THE ONE AND ONLY MARIO LEMIEUX MADE A QUICK STOP AS HE WAS PASSING BY.
