Sidney Crosby, the best hockey player in the world, will be in the lineup for Thursday night's game against the New York Rangers. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course with Crosby's comeback part two, you get stupid comments from people who have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Here are some examples:
"Malkin should be the captain"- Facebook....
"At this point Sidney Crosby should have to buy a ticket"- Facebook
"Malkins far better as an all around player. I'm not taking anything away from Sid, but you don't seen to want to give credit to Malkin. Hes by far the best player on earth right now and is very deserving of the C.... Even a blind person can see that."- Facebook
Unbelievable...These people either hate Crosby that much or they are just that stupid....or both.
A scary thought about all of this is imagine if the Pens lose Thursday night after winning nine in a row without Crosby. Even more scary is imagine if Crosby doesn't score or even get a point.........Jesus!
Fact is, Crosby has been the best player in the world since he's been in the league. Nothing against Malkin, but Sid's the better player and the better leader.
We can do a full Malkin vs Crosby debate some other day though.
Interesting thing about Crosby is Penguin's head coach Dan Bylsma's approach with Crosby. Bylsma is going to be a lot more conservative about Crosby as he's easing him into the lineup this time. Not sure why, you're either cleared to play or you're not.....Just saying
Here's what Bylsma said:
We want to get him back in the mix, but keeping his minutes a little bit closer to 15," head coach Dan Bylsma said. "That's one of the reasons for him putting him with (Cooke) and (Kennedy). I've always told him he could be a Selke winner. He's going to have his chance here with Cooke and Kennedy."
Here comes more dumb stuff via The Pensblog:
"Bylsma should be given the Jack Adams just for that sentence. Presumably the Penguins learned from last time, and that is exactly what needed to be done.
And think about it. The Penguins are on a nine game winning streak. Team over player. That is the way it should be.
Crosby was the best player in the world a year and half ago. He isn't anymore, so he can start from the third line and work his shit out."
First off Crosby is the best player in the world. Malkin has been the best player thus far, but had Crosby been healthy I think he would be in first place in scoring....
Secondly, anyone, and I repeat, ANYONE that thinks Crosby has to start on the third line to work his "shit" out is a MORON. No player of Crosby's caliber should ever have to earn their spot not matter how long they were out with an injury.
Did Mario have to earn his spot? Nope...Either neither should Sid...Sid's already earned his spot.
Looking forward I would eventually play Crosby with Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis, and yes would even consider playing Sid with James Neal. Yes I don't think the Malkin-Kunitz-Neal has to stay together. Sid deserves good wings just as much as Malkin.
In the end everyone wins with a healthy Crosby. Hockey fans win, Penguin's fans win, and most of all the team wins. The Pens now have the most taltented team in the league. They have one nine in a row and now they get Crosby back.....
