Crosby & Penguins Looking To Rebound After Disappointing Playoffs

Sidney Crosby has proven that he can play with the big boys in the NHL. Hockey's heir apparent to Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, Sid the Kid continues to improve season over season, scoring highlight goals helping lead his youthful Pittsburgh Penguin team to ever greater heights.

Crosby, along with Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Jordan Staal is poised to take another run at the Stanley Cup they captured three seasons ago. After an incredible run at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver where Crosby scored the gold medal winning goal in overtime, the Penguins lost in the playoffs to the Montreal Canadiens, so Pittsburgh and Sidney Crosby will have their work cut out for them if they want to hoist the Cup one more time.

How Are The Penguins And Sidney Crosby Doing So Far This Year?

The Answer? Smokin' Hot!

Crosby led the Penguins with 51 goals and 58 assists for 109 points in 2009-10 and he shared the Rocket Richard Trophy with Steve Stamos who also had 51 goals last season, one up on Washington's Alexander Ovechkin.

Right now Crosby is finally getting back playing after missing so much time due to a concussion. He has 12 points (2 goals, 10 assists) after only 7 games and is still well of the pace being set by the top pointgetters but he is moving up fast..

The Penguins next play the red hot Boston Bruins at home Monday December 5th which would make a great playoff matchup.

NHL: Sidney Crosby - On the Ice and Beyond

Biography On Sid the Kid

The DVD is a good story on Crosby's 2007-2008 season (with a little build-up on the Penguins, then on Crosby himself). The biography itself is good. There isn't much as far as highlights go. This is definitely more of a biography of Crosby than it is a highlight reel. The feature runs about 80 minutes.

The DVD is shown in widescreen format, but it's not a true widescreen for those with widescreen TVs, it's like a matted picture. Crosby's voice having the echo effect did not help present it well, but it wasn't too annoying after a few times of hearing it.

Sidney Crosby and The Boys Hand Deliver Penguins Seasons Tickets

Ding Dong! Crosby Calling

To show how much they appreciate the level of support their fans have shown the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sidney Crosby and several other players hand delivered season tickets to 35 fans for the 2nd year in a row.

Crosby, along with Jordan Staal, Marc-Andre Fleury, Pascal Dupuis, Sergei Gonchar, and other Penguinos stopped by the homes of season ticket-holders to hand deliver their tickets for the upcoming NHL season. Even head coach Michel Therrien got in on the giveaway.

Crosby stated "I don't think there are a lot of teams that do this in any sport. It's a pretty unique thing we do. As players, we appreciate it and it's a way to kind of give back more on a personal level. I think people appreciate that."

Detroit wins Stanley Cup by beating Crosby's Penguins

Pittsburgh's 2008 march to the Stanley Cup was curtailed by Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk's Detroit Red Wings in the 2007-08 Stanley Cup Finals, but Crosby and company had the last laugh, winning the Cup the next year.

Crosby, Malkin and the rest of the Penguinos are gearing up for the 2009-10 season with high hopes of repeating the success they had last year, hopefully with a similar result.

How Do You Think Crosby Would Stack Up Against These Guys?

Sid The Kid is good, but would he fit in with this group of legendary Hall of Famers? I guess we'll have to give him another year or two to ripen into form and maybe then we'll see if he stacks up to these old-school hockey heroes.

    Not a fan of Crosby...as I said before he's completely over rated. Get the kid riled up and he turns into a "Baby". I don't even believe him to be the best on the team, I'm putting my vote on Malkin for that one...and since he got injured last year, he's been injury prone this year...could turn into the next lindros hahahahahahahaha.
