Mario Lemieux had one question for Sidney Crosby after the Penguins captain passed him to establish a new franchise record for most postseason points in Game 4 of Pittsburgh's First Round series against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center.

Here are the 3 biggest takeaways from the Penguins' Thursday practice at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.

Dominik Simon is familiar with the excitement of the Stanley Cup playoffs, having served as a 'Black Ace' each of the past two postseasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Carl Hagelin is good friends with Phil Kessel. They've obviously had success playing together, they sit next to each other in the locker room and overall, the two of them get along great both on and off the ice.

Hagelin definitely knows him pretty well, and he had a feeling that Kessel was going to score his first goal of the series in Game 4 of the Penguins' First Round matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center. So he let him know.
