Penguins center Sidney Crosby and Rangers center Brad Richards go back a long way. The two stars are meeting in the second-round playoff series between, which opened Friday night with a 3-2 overtime win for the Rangers. When Crosby was a tyke, he attended a skating school every summer in Prince Edward Island. Richards, who is from Prince Edward Island, was a young instructor. Richards, who turned 34 Friday, is six years older than Crosby. "I definitely remember looking up to Brad," Crosby said. "He played [junior hockey] in Rimouski, where I [later] played. I definitely looked up to him growing up." Crosby made an impression on Richards, too. "He definitely stood out," Richards said. "You could tell he was above everybody he played with within probably three, four years of his age. He was just a sponge for information, always doing everything respectfully."
