Hossa has no regrets, no duh!

Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette recently wrote an article about how Marian Hossa has no regrets leaving the Penguins to play for the Detroit Red Wings.

Looking back on it, I would doubt if any of the current Penguins would regret playing for the Red Wings if given the chance. Detroit is second in the Western Conference while the Penguins are in tenth in the Eastern Conference, meaning that if the season ends today (which luckily for Penguins fans it doesn't) Pittsburgh would be out of the playoffs.

Everyone made a big deal that Hossa wouldn't be able to produce as well without Crosby, well its kind of been the other way around. While Sid and Hossa have both gotten their points, Crosby isn't the same player he was with Hossa. Marian is a sniper, a true goal scorer, so regardless of who is feeding him the puck, he can still find twine. Crosby on the other hand, has some of the best vision in the game and can thread a puck through any defense, but he doesn't have a bonifide scorer to finish.

Penguins fans have to hope that their club can find away into the playoffs, otherwise they will have to turn their attention to the Pirates for about three weeks before they realize that another losing season in upon them, and that Steelers training camp doesn't start until August, thus making for a very long summer.
