Sidney Crosby

I sure feel sorry for Sidney Crosby. He's been hyped as the next Mario Lemieux or Wayne Gretzky. Now he's going to be drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins, one of the worst teams in the NHL. Of course they were so bad because they had no money. Supposedly the new player's contract will relieve that issue until they can fix the money pinch and build a new arena. But I digress. This kid will be expected to be the center of the team. To bring a team from the bottom rung all the way to the top, practically singlehanded. That's an awful lot of pressure. I sure wouldn't want to be in his skates.

PS It sure feels good to be able to talk about hockey again.
