FANATICAL PENGUINS FAN TRIES TO ETCH SIDNEY CROSBY'S NAME ON STANLEY CUP

TORONTO - An Oakland Catholic High School student was detained at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto after she was found clinging to the Stanley Cup, which is on display in the Hall.

The fanatical 16-year old Penguins fan, whose name is being withheld in accordance with this Web site's policy not to print the names of persons accused of crimes at the Hockey Hall of Fame, was wearing a Penguins "Puck Hat," an autographed Marc Andre Fluery ("29") sweater and bracelets proclaiming her allegiance to the IPF, "Intense Pens' Fans." Hall of Fame security guards, assisted by three retired Toronto Maple Leafs who happened to be making an appearance at the Hall, including a slow moving Tie Domi, pulled the young woman away from the famous Cup after she refused to relinquish a death grip on it. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said that the young woman was found to be in possession of a primitive engraving tool that she admitted she intended to use to etch the name "Sidney Crosby" onto the Cup.

As the young woman was being led out of the Hall of Fame, she repeatedly sobbed, "This was Sid's only chance to get his name on that Cup! This was Sid's only chance to get his name on that Cup! I came so close!"
