Sid the Kid.

        The return of Sidney Crosby, again has gripped the sports world and most notably Canada once again. As I am sure everyone who would be reading this blog is well aware that Sidney Crosby returned earlier this season from a concussion sustained in January 2011 only to receive another concussion December 2011. Crosby then returned on March 14, 2012 against the New York Rangers. Sidney looks like he hasn’t missed a second all season, the guy truly is one of the most dynamic players to ever lace up skates. I would rather watch a highlight package of Sidney Crosby practicing then an entire Calgary Flames game. The return of Crosby, the domination put forth by Evgeni Malkin nightly, the brick wall in net with Fleury, and one of the most dynamic defensemen in Letang along with a very deep core with guys like Jordan Stall, Matt Cooke, Paul Martin has to make the Penguins the favorites heading into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Without Sidney the Penguins were going to be a tough match up for any team in the East, but with his addition I see no true challengers for them, unless the Lightning squeak into 8^th place. Crosby is truly a great ambassador for the NHL, plays hard every night and is willing to do what it takes to help the team get the win. Even if that means having the occasional scrap. I know some people do not like Sid, they say he complains to much and that he gets every call but those people are idiots and their opinions do not count. The guy scored the golden goal for Canada at the Olympics; he should be immortalized on our money. This is single handedly the greatest sporting moment I have ever witnesses.  I mean it was in overtime versus the Americans in Vancouver, it could not have been scripted any better then that. The game is a lot better and exciting when Sidney Crosby is playing it rather then sitting in the press box. He is one of the great athletes of my generation and I can only hope that he stays healthy and on the ice.
