Great. Now in a NBA thread, we are still talking about Sid! Obsessive compulsion..well..good to see that more and more people joining the hate list of Sid the Kid. That means he is really good. He has already won the Hart and Art Ross before his twentieth birthday. Expect to see more.
About the advise part. Thanks but no thanks. By the time he reaches the age of Hank and Pav ( another seven- eight years ), we will see how good he becomes. Anyway..we the Pens fans love him and don't give a hoot about anyones advises.
Crosby is not overpaid. He took a discount when he signed the new contract so the team can sign more players and remain under the cap. Its of course $ 8.7 mil a year ( 87 again ). Compare that to likes of Briere who is making yearly wages of $ 10 mil.
I thought the NHL is over and I excepted with grace that the Red Wings, at this point, are a much better team than the Pens. I am at peace with that outcome. Sadly and unfortunately winning the SC is not enough for some fans who claim to follow the classiest team of 'em all.
Malkin is the weakest center in our squad when it comes to face-offs. Staal will become a defensive specialist ( at 19 he is already in top five ). Hossa thrived because who he played with. Just go ask him or any GM in the league. Malkin maybe, but no way Staal or Hossa gets picked over Sid to start a franchise. Ask any GM.
Don't need to say sorry to me. You say what you mean. Know one thing though- It's worth not even a penny- the diatribe and this obsession with Sid.
Bye now..
