Sydor Happy To Be Back In Dallas, Boucher Ready To Play In Pittsburgh

from DallasStars.com,

“I didn’t want to leave,” he said. “I have a lot of roots there, and we love Dallas. It is just dream come true to be able to put that jersey back on. I think the reason why (I was not re-signed by the Stars) was a cap issue. That’s the way it is; it’s the way the system works. There are no hard feelings. I’ve very excited to be back.”

from Sam Kasan of PittsburghPenguins.com,

Boucher was notified of the trade on Sunday morning. He shared the news with his son Matthew, 10, and daughter Vanessa, 5. When they were told their father was traded to Pittsburgh, Vanessa responded:

“Daddy’s going to play with Sidney Crosby!”…

For now, Boucher becomes the newest Penguin and he’s excited about putting on the Penguins uniform.

“Who wouldn’t be?” Boucher said. “I have experience. I’ve played in almost every situation. I’m not sure of my role but I’m excited to join the team. I can’t wait to find out.”

Sydor At Forward

from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

Darryl Sydor deflected the question - why did the longest-tenured NHL defenseman on the Penguins’ roster play six minutes and 31 seconds Saturday night as a left wing? - to coach Michel Therrien.

“Ask him,” Sydor said following the Penguins’ 2-1 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils at Mellon Arena.

“I’m going to keep to myself, be a professional and work hard.”

Therrien, who essentially shelved the fourth line that Sydor shared with right wing Eric Godard and forward Michael Zigomanis, said Sydor’s role last night was determined by the need to use him at the point on the Penguins’ second power-play unit.

“And we thought (rookie defenseman Alex) Goligoski did a great job his last game, and we’re going to work with him,” Therrien said.

Post-Game #4 with Crosby, Hossa & Sydor

12:22am ET: Updated below with quotes from Marian Hossa and Darryl Sydor.

Q.  Sid, if you could just talk about that five‑on‑three and what you think went wrong on there?

SIDNEY CROSBY:  We missed the net a few times.  And there was a couple pucks laying on the crease we just didn’t put in.  I think if we went back, we’d try to hit the net and generate more from that.  But we got set up there for a while, and just couldn’t put it in.

Sydor in Tonight

by Alanah McGinley on 05/28/08 at 11:49 AM ET
Comments (6)

From Helene St. James at the Detroit Free Press,

Quick update from Mellon Arena here in Pittsburgh: In an effort to stop a two-game losing streak, the Penguins are inserting 36-year-old defenseman Darryl Sydor into the lineup for Game 3.

Sydor won Stanley Cups in 1999 with Dallas and in Tampa Bay 2004, but hasn’t seen action in a single game in the 2008 playoffs, that’s how highly the Penguins have thought of him. So exactly what he can add now is going to be interesting to see.

continued...

Update 12:37pm ET: From the CP,

The 36-year-old will replace rookie Kristopher Letang, whose play has slipped of late. Sydor has yet to see any action in this year’s playoffs.

Fleury Thought Goal

from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

Late in the third period, Fleury moved out of the crease to his right and found himself with the puck and a clear path to the Coyotes’ vacant net.

He smelled a goal.

“That was the first time I got to try to shoot,” Fleury said. “And we were two goals ahead. You don’t want try it with one goal. It was the perfect time.”

He didn’t get the chance.

“Then [defenseman Darryl] Sydor came back and he took it,” Fleury said.

more including Recchi may be on recall waivers very soon.  I am sure a team or two will put a claim in for him.

Update12:50pm ET: TSN now reports, “The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed veteran winger Mark Recchi on re-entry waivers.”

Out With The Old

from Mark Madden at the Beaver County Times,

But the feelings of veterans shouldn’t matter when a team is based on youth. Unless the Penguins arrive a bit early, Recchi, Roberts and Sydor will almost certainly not be around when the team wins its next Stanley Cup. So who cares how they feel? Respect them. But don’t placate them. Don’t treat them with kid gloves when they play badly.

If anybody feels Roberts is still worth anything, Shero should trade him. Try calling north of the border, Ray. If his misguided raging-bull style on the ice is any indication, Roberts is not handling his decline well.

Recchi and Sydor can still help in lesser roles. Just make sure they have lesser roles.

Sydor Still in Transition with Penguins

by Alanah McGinley on 10/08/07 at 12:21 AM ET
Comments (0)

From Keith Barnes at the Tribune-Review,

When Darryl Sydor takes the ice Wednesday in the Penguins’ game against Montreal, it will be a milestone night for the 35-year-old defenseman.

He officially will pass Mike Ricci on the all-time games played list and will join an elite group of players who have appeared in 1,100 career games.

Including the Penguins, Sydor has played for five teams in his NHL career. He won the Stanley Cup in 1999 with Dallas and 2004 with Tampa Bay and has played in two All-Star games. But through his first two games with the Penguins, the seventh overall pick in the 1990 draft by the Los Angeles Kings has had some problems adapting to the defensive system run by coach Michel Therrien.

From Dave Molinari at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

Mark Recchi and Darryl Sydor have been friends for years.

They became teammates in July. And Wednesday, they will officially become co-owners of a hockey team.

Recchi and Sydor are part of a five-man group that has negotiated the acquisition of their old Western Hockey League club, the Kamloops Blazers, for a reported $7 million.
