TORONTO -- Pittsburgh sports writer Dave Molinari is the 2009 recipient of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for print journalism, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced Tuesday. Santonio Holmes Premier Jersey . Molinari, the lead hockey writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, has covered the Penguins since 1984. He was recognized by the Professional Hockey Writers Association for his "subtle blend of dry wit and unending sarcasm," and for chronicling the career of Hall-of-Fame forward Mario Lemieux. "The fans of Pittsburgh of been fortunate to have highly skilled players such as Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby," PHWA president Kevin Allen said in a statement. "And they have been equally fortunate to have a highly skilled writer such as Dave to chronicle their successes. "With his dry wit, Dave is also the leading press box humorist in the hockey writing community. He is one of the most respected hockey writers in the game today." John Davidson was named the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award winner for his contributions in hockey broadcasting. Davidson, the president of hockey operations for the St. Louis Blues, has served as an analyst for CBC and the MSG Network and has been in the broadcast booth for the past five Olympic Games. "John Davidson has had a remarkable career in almost every aspect of professional hockey, and we as a broadcast community benefited immensely from his expertise and professionalism," said Chuck Kaiton, president of the NHL Broadcasters Association. "He is an incredibly deserving recipient of this honour." The two will be honoured at a luncheon Nov. 9, prior to the Hockey Hall of Fame induction. "For me, its overwhelming," said Davidson. "Ive got about 300 people to thank for it." This years Hall of Fame inductees will be announced on June 23. First-year eligible players for induction include Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Brian Leetch, Alexander Mogilny and Luc Robitaille. Ahmad Bradshaw Jersey Kid . The Canucks-Bruins matchup in the Stanley Cup Final is the first playoff meeting ever between the two franchises. Thats probably just as well for the Canucks, whove never fared well against Boston. Eli Manning Jersey Women . - All along, the Chicago Bears insisted theyd be back in the spotlight. Hakeem Nicks Jersey Youth .C. -- For much of the past decade, Michigan has faded to the background in its state come March as rival Michigan State routinely made deep NCAA tournament runs. Darren McFadden Jersey Womens White . James became the 12th player in NBA history to record three consecutive triple-doubles when he scored 34 points and added 13 assists and 10 rebounds in a 119-111 win over Phoenix on March 12, recording four triple-doubles and a dozen double-doubles in all during the month. Premier Anquan Boldin Jersey . As the current growth engine of the global economy, China is now more and more deeply linked to Australia through the strategic resource trade. Anquan Boldin Replica Jersey . Buffalo, the leaders of the West Division, upset previously unbeaten and 12th- ranked Ball State 42-24 in the MAC Championship on Friday and will now seek even more success when the school takes on an unknown school from the Big East in Toronto on January 3. Andre Johnson Jersey men . That shine wore off with his very first pitch. The Red Sox right-hander had the worst outing of his 10 post-season starts as Boston lost 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels in 12 innings on Sunday night. Matt Forte Jersey Kid . Thomas, who struggled in 2009-10 after winning the Vezina Trophy the season before, has been in net during Bostons four-game winning streak, allowing just three goals on 136 shots. I did put enough thought into it that I really wanted to have a good game, get the crowd behind me, Thomas said. Six games are on tap, and three are first meetings of the season. Tampa Bay and Buffalo have already faced-off, but surprisingly Thomas Vanek of the Sabres didnt score in that game. His career record against the Lightning is dominant, as is that of teammate and goaltender, Ryan Miller.
