I dont mind the Crosby to Pittsburg, I would have much rather you joined a Canadian club (other then Ottawa) but atleast he is going somewhere we can see him and that cares about hockey..I think you will see a huge boost in Pittsburg attendance this year..Hell Super mario may even play the whole season...

I hate to disagree with you, but you do know who we are talking about?. This Kid can play and will play. Being on a bad team can hurt a young goalie but Crosby will score no matter what and with Mario  chipping in, they may even wins some games.

on the topic of golies arent the pens the team that sent there golie back to his junior team bc he played in to many games and they would have paid him a 2 mill bonus. the kid probably would have been rookie of the year.

Yes they did. That  sent him down one game befor he was to make that bonus. He was getting shelled and they claim that was the reason.

correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure they had sent him back to his junior a team. like that would help any. i think he would have been rookie of the year. i think he will be number 1 this year

You are probably right. Fleury  is very capable of being a #1 goalie, he has shown it many times (other then his blunder at the world juniors). He should be Pittsburgs #1 this year. I noticed that they also picked up Mark Recchi for alittle additional scoreing touch up front. Now if Mario is Healthy which he should be, and Crosby does was he does then Pittsburg will be a Good team to watch Offensivly. I dont know how many games they will win but they should be fun to watch.

With the new look NHL with cap and all the unrestricted free agents this year I can imagine some other big names will be ringing up the pens wanting to play with Sid the kid. If they are smart the'll get a tough guy too!He has got some serious skill and I can't wait to see what he can do at the pro level playing with some serious talent. In the world juniors playing with Patrice Bergeron and Cory Perry some of the goals they scored left me speechless :o Crosby's not the only rookie that will make some highlight reels there's Ovechkin ,Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Dion Phaneuf, Shea Weber to name a few Also Ithink next year Phil Kessel from the USA junior team will be eligable the game is going to be fine I'm freakin pumped!!!! 8)

Crosby is over rated especially with the players he has got to skate with all year,  Ovechkin has no one to play with and is a better all around player.

PLease dont mention Ovechkin in the same sentance as "All around Player".  Dont get me wrong the Kid can score and he has some toughness that most of his country men befor him did not have...But "all around player". Once he starts to play like he is on a team,,then we can talk..

I do agree he has proven himslef to be one of if not the most dynamic players in the NHL.  the kid has got skills...Crosby went back to is old ways...All he has is attitude
