Been awhile since I posted anything, figured I might as well get involved by giving credit where credit is due.
Last night Mr. Crosby became the third youngest player in NHL HISTORY to reach 500 pts.
1. Wayne Gretzky - 21 years 52 days
2. Mario Lemieux - 22 years 172 days
3. Sidney Crosby - 22 years 244 days
As the title says, that's pretty elite company. My hat's off, to what has been a very impressive stint in the league thus far which has included a scoring title, Hart Trophy, Stanley Cup, Olympic Gold and quite possibly the last thing anyone ever thought he'd accomplish, a Maurice Richard Trophy.
A class act both on and off the ice who's done nothing but make all the right moves to date.
I think what has impressed me most about Crosby however is his ability to change and improve his game. We are all aware of the "whiner" allegations from a few years ago, I've watched him play many times since then and he has done a complete 180 from those days. And just this year, realizing he wasn't as effective of a face off man as he could be he stepped up to the plate and made dramatic improvements in that area of his game.
Well....you can't start a Crosby topic or even mention him with out a barrage of stupidity closely following, that being said....Gentlemen (or should I say children) start your engine.... |

The race for the Richard Trophy isn't over just yet, he's only 1 goal ahead of both Ovechkin & Stamkos with a weekend of hockey still left to play.
Other than that, i agree with everything you said. He's had a storybook start to his NHL career. |
