Sidney Crosby Returns!

Tonight is the night...what a beautiful night! Yes, there is a song in my heart this morning!

Captain Sidney Crosby will be lacing up tonight at home against the New York Islanders. After losing two straight on the road to Tampa Bay and Florida, it might just be what this team needs.

They will face the Islanders, Blues and Senators at home this week before returning to the road. Make sure to reserve some of your enthusiasm for the moment that Sid gets hit, gets hit, and doesn't immediately return to the bench. Remember, this is not Penguins practice anymore. The opponant is going to hit...and hit hard!

Looking for Sidney Crosby

The return of Sidney Crosby is no longer as far off as people may imagine. I heard a rumor from someone close to Sidney's agent, that Sid's headaches are returning. I have a few issues with that rumor's crebibility.

1) Why in the world would Sid's agent even think about divulging that information? His best chance of keeping money coming to himself would be through people believing that #87 will be returning to being the best hockey player in the game.

2) If Sid is still a long way from returning, what is the point of trading Mark Le testube (as my wife calls him) and sending another center to Wilkes-Barre.

3) Sidney continues to be contacted in practice and continues to travel with the team. If his agent truly believed that his headaches were returning, THERE IS NO WAY he would allow the risk of injury.

If I had to guess, Sid will be back next week...and the Crosby Show will be back on the air.
