PITTSBURGH -- Jaromir Jagr and Sidney Crosby are from different eras and different countries, and the style of play when each entered the NHL was wildly disparate, as well.What they have in common is the Pittsburgh Penguins.Jagr, who is 44 and is 25 years removed from his NHL debut, starred on the first two Penguins teams to win the Stanley Cup. Crosby, who is 29 and is 11 years removed from his NHL debut, starred on the last two Penguins teams to win the Stanley Cup.On Tuesday night, the crisscrossing careers of two of the NHLs most dominant offensive players of the last quarter-century could converge again at PPG Paints Arena.Crosby, who missed the first six Penguins games with a concussion, took part in a full practice Monday -- his first since the season began. He might make his season debut against Jagrs Florida Panthers.It was just good to be back on the ice with the guys. Its not easy watching, Crosby said. To be out there was nice and, hopefully, (it was) a good step.Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan, whose team is coming off a 5-1 loss at Nashville on Saturday, no doubt would welcome back the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, although he didnt say for certain if Crosby would play.The Penguins (3-2-1) likely will make sure Crosby experiences no setbacks after going through a full practice before he gets the go-ahead to play.Sid is day-to-day, Sullivan said Monday. Well take tomorrow as it comes.There always seems to be another tomorrow for Jagr, who won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins during his first two NHL seasons in 1991 and 1992 -- back when goals were much more plentiful than when Crosby debuted in 2005. He has been gone from Pittsburgh for 15 years -- can it possibly be that long -- yet he still is more closely associated with the Penguins than he is with any of his other seven NHL teams.Jagr played 806 regular-season games with Pittsburgh; he has appeared in no more than 277 games with any other team.My (Pittsburgh) fans are already dead or old, Jagr told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. There are new fans. Half of them probably dont even know I played there.Jagr was booed for years -- though never with venom that accompanies some once-popular players departures from a city --after he was seen as orchestrating his departure from what was then a cash-strapped Penguins franchise in 2001.However, he remains an icon in the city, even if it is difficult to spot the once-prevalent No. 68 Jagr jerseys in the stands.Jagr always enjoys playing in Pittsburgh, no matter what jersey he wears; he has 24 goals and 22 assists in 52 career games against the Penguins. (Plus 439 goals and 640 assists in 806 games with them.)Last season, Jagrs 27 goals were the most of any player his age in NHL history. Last week, he joined Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe as the only NHL players to score 750 goals in their careers.When he turns 45 on Feb. 15, Jagr will become -- barring injury -- only the third player to ever play at that age, joining Howe and Chris Chelios.Jagr has one goal and two assists in five games to help Florida get off to a 3-1-1 start.Stanley Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray (broken left hand) also resumed practicing with Pittsburgh for the first time this season on Monday.Im getting closer and closer every day, he said.Marc-Andre Fleury has started in net in all six Penguins games to date. Cheap Hurricanes Jerseys Authentic . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout. http://www.cheaphurricanesjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-glen-wesley-jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Rod Brind Amour Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Elias Lindholm Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. CHICAGO -- Following back-to-back series with teams very much in the postseason hunt the Chicago Cubs now play three against teams far off the pace.While mathematically alive, the Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres are all playing sub-.500 baseball and trail leaders in their respective divisions by 10 1/2 games or more.The Cubs (73-43) swept a pair from the Los Angeles Angels last week and then split a four-game series with division rival St. Louis to maintain a 12-game lead in the National League Central.The Brewers and Cubs open a four-game series with Tuesdays day-night doubleheader at Wrigley Field. One game is a makeup from an April 27 rainout. Milwaukee (52-64) is fourth in the NL Central, 21 games behind Chicago.The Brewers bring in one of baseballs hottest bats in Ryan Braun, batting .381 with 26 runs, nine homers, 21 RBI and 14 walks since the All-Star Break.Hes really locked in and producing, for sure, said Brewers manager Craig Counsell. We were worried a little about what would happen after losing the hitter (Jonathan Lucroy) behind him but hes responded really well and hes certainly been swinging the bat great.The Cubs counter with a pitcher making his first start of the season in Tuesdays opener and a short-handed bullpen exposed in last weekends Cardinals series.Right-hander Trevor Cahill gets a spot start in Tuesdays 12:20 p.m. game against Brewers righty and ex-Cub Matt Garza (4-4, 4.83 ERA). Chicagos Jason Hammel (12-5, 2.90 ERA) carries a five-start winning streak into Game 2 against Milwaukees Chasse Anderson (7-10, 4.dddddddddddd93 ERA) at 7:05 p.m.Cahill will come off the disabled list and serve as 26th man for Tuesdays doubleheader. He has been sidelined since July 9 with patellar tendinitis in his right knee but made six recent starts with Triple-A Iowa, going 0-3 with a 4.58 ERA.He is 1/3 with a 3.07 ERA in 33 appearances with the Cubs this season.Bullpen weakness was a contributing factor in Cubs losses on Saturday and Sunday.Reliever Hector Rondon returned on Sunday after being out 12 days with a sore triceps. He gave up a go-ahead three-run homer to Stephen Piscotty in the eighth inning.His stuff wasnt as crisp as normal., Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. The fastball velocity wasnt up there. He obviously did not throw the ball where he wanted to.Pedro Strop is out four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery last week for a left meniscus tear.Not having Stroppy -- we just have to figure this out, Maddon said. We have to restructure this somehow.Chicago also had another pitching scare on Sunday night when starter John Lackey departed in the seventh inning with shoulder stiffness.But Lackey said after the game that he was fine. He figures to start again later this week at Colorado.Im OK, he said after Sundays game. (An) extra bullpen session was probably not the best for me. I feel a little tight since then. Nothing crazy. Trust me. Ive been out there feeling a lot worse. Ill be all right.
