" Jay Bouwmeester is big enough to admit it.

He's been victimized by Sidney Crosby's talents.

"There's a commercial where he was shown splitting the defence," Bouwmeester said of a goal Crosby scored against the Florida Panthers a few seasons ago.

"That was me."

At that time, Bouwmeester was used to facing Crosby and the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins four times in a season.

Tonight's clash at the Saddledome between the Penguins and Flames is a one-shot deal this season, so you could sense the excitement among the team.

"These games are fun. You don't see these teams that much and they have some guys people here don't see much. It should be interesting," Bouwmeester said. "I don't know if (you have any extra bounce) or anything like that, but you take pride in trying to shut those guys down and not giving them a lot of chances. "
