While noting that Sidney Crosby now has 87 career goals, we wondered where Crosby is among the Penguins' all-time career scoring leaders. After we found out he was now 25th all-time in franchise history, we decided to figure out the 75 other players after him in order to present you with a list of the top 100 leading scorers in franchise history. (Players currently with the Penguins are bolded)

-All totals are through Sunday.
-In the event of ties, goals carry more weight than assists.
EMPTY NETTER ASSISTS
-Sixteen years ago today, former Penguins coach Bob Johnson passed away.
-Going Five Hole found a video from the tribute they held for Johnson at the Civic Arena on following his death:
-The Penguins need some time off.
-The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins got goals from Nathan Smith and Kurtis McLean but fell to Hershey, 3-2.
-Aaron Clarke and David Laliberte scored for Wheeling in a 3-2 shootout loss to Trenton.
-We're a little late with this, but the Wheeling Nailers signed former Penguins goon Francois Leroux. Say what you will about Leroux, but he could throw down with the best of them. Ask Tony Twist:
Southeast Division-New Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau was actually an extra in "Slap Shot."
Central Division
-Jamal Mayers had two goals and Manny Legace made 24 saves in a 3-0 shutout of the Flames.
Pacific Division
-Ryan Getzlaf scored twice and led the Ducks to a 3-2 defeat of the rival Kings.
-The Stars got 39 saves from Mike Smith and beat the Rangers, 3-2.
Northwest Division
-Roberto Luongo made 27 saves in a 2-0 shutout of the Blackhawks.
-Oilers defenseman Dick Tarnstrom, a former Penguin, suffered a mild concussion in a 3-2 win against Chicago Saturday.
American Division
-Lynn Zinser of the New York Times had a pretty good piece on the art of blocking shots.
-A teenager died at a Providence Bruins game Friday.
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD
-An EN reader had some issues trying to watch last Wednesday's game against the Devils:
"I was just wondering if you heard from anyone about the Devils game not being on the Center Ice package on Wednesday night. I was all set to watch some hockey and enjoy a little pre-holiday cheer, but when I turned it on, it was not listed among any of the games available. Talk about a letdown. (I also checked the NHL Online, but no luck there).
My theory is that there were more games being played than there were channels available, but still, there were some late games that were slated onto a couple of the channels that could have been used for the Pens, before switching to a later game. Do you know if there is some kind of rotation system to handle when the possible games outnumber the available channels?
It's tough enough following the Pens from out of town, especially in hockey-challenged Maryland, without Center Ice letting us down. Has anyone else from outside the market complained about this, or relayed any insight?
-Tony Napoleone, Baltimore, Md.
EN-We have Center Ice ourselves and have rarely had that problem with it. There have been occasions where a sexy game was left off there, but like we said, it's been very rare.
We're surprised the NHL wouldn't ensure that Sidney Crosby and company wouldn't be available to anyone willing to dish out cash to watch it. Crosby's obviously the poster boy for the league now and you would think the powers-that-be at the NHL would do anything to promote him to anyone that wants to watch him.
Anyone else have problems like Tony?
