Surovy, Penguins send a message

Dave Molinari | Pittsburgh Penguins | March 23, 2006

A smile outlined in embarrassment flashed across Tomas Surovy's face every time his Penguins' teammates stuck it to him yesterday.

"Hey, Killer!" came the taunts in the locker room. They escalated while Surovy sat at his stall surrounded by reporters.

Under that barrage, Surovy was left to sheepishly recount his fight with Ottawa defenseman Andrej Meszaros in the third period of a 5-2 loss Tuesday night in Ottawa.

"It just happened," said Surovy, who figures his lifetime fight card previously had included just three nondescript bouts when he played in the minor leagues. "Naturally, you try to stick up for your teammate."

Naturally. And, just as naturally, the barbs coming from his comrades were expressions of approval.

Surovy engaged Meszaros immediately after the defenseman hit Penguins leading scorer Sidney Crosby and nearly took out Crosby's knee.

That, the players stressed, points to a level of unity any team could be proud of, and one that all opponents—whether it's the New York Islanders, who visit Mellon Arena tonight, or any of the remaining 12 opponents after that—can expect to encounter if they harass a member of the Penguins.

"Tomas did a good job sticking up for Sid, and it's good to see the guys stick up like that," said Penguins winger Andre Roy, one of three players on the team with more than 100 penalty minutes.

Roy picked up a 10-minute misconduct for arguing with officials that Meszaros should have received a major penalty rather than the minor tripping penalty he got.

Asked if he felt his teammates have his back, Crosby said: "I think so, but that's just part of playing on a team. If something happened to one of our guys, I'd be the first one to try to help them, too. It just so happens that it has happened a few more times with me."

It's debatable whether Crosby—the first overall draft pick, a top candidate for the Calder Trophy and someone with 76 points in 68 games—should mix it up in defense of a teammate.

Yet the sentiment is appreciated.

"I like the atmosphere with the team," Penguins coach Michel Therrien said. "I think the team spirit is there. It's a lot better than it was, and that's a good sign. It was a physical game, and we responded very well to that aspect of the game.

"It's not a thing that we're going to send a message. It's a thing that we have to do. Teams that care about each other will do those kinds of things."

Tensions Tuesday escalated after the Penguins' Eric Boguniecki put a shoulder into Senators defenseman Anton Volchenkov in the first period with no penalty called. Volchenkov didn't return to the game.

Penguins defenseman Eric Cairns and Ottawa's Zdeno Chara went a couple of rounds as the second period ended.

For the Penguins, seeing Crosby go sprawling to the ice at 14:19 of the third period raised their hackles.

"Obviously, he's the star player on our team," Roy said. "Wherever he goes, he's an attraction. Teams, I think, approach games by saying, 'We've got to hit him and play in his face and play gritty.' But Sid has done a great job all year dealing with that."

Crosby declined to offer an opinion on whether Meszaros was aiming for his knee, but he said he has been targeted by opponents this season with intent to injure.

"I think that happens to everyone," Crosby said. "I'm sure guys get mad and go after guys from time to time and might want to hurt them, and then later they feel they shouldn't have done that, but that's just the nature of the game."

When it happens again, Crosby can rest assured his teammates will be there for him. He can count on Roy or perhaps a rugged defenseman to come to his aid.

Or, in a pinch, Surovy.
