The Next "Great One"

In case any of you have let your guard down the past couple of nights, I am here to remind you that Sidney Crosby now leads the NHL in points. We may be presently witnessing the emergence of the next "Great One." I feel many hockey fans and insiders are taking Sid the Kid for granted, as we have been hearing his name for years, coupled with the most superlative of adjectives. In stating "for granted," I mean that he is only nineteen years old. Sid is still a child and he is dominating men on a nightly basis. His on ice vision and anticipation is phenomenal, and he is doing things reminiscent of Mr. 99. A glaring difference, is that Sid has an attractive physicality to his game. I am impressed with his fearless pursuit of the puck, as he is not afraid to "scrum it up" in the corners. And I reiterate, he is nineteen, several years away from his prime. On another blog, I had predicted that Crosby will take home the Art Ross Trophy this year. The Kid is making me look pretty smart at this juncture. His individual success knows no bounds, and just wait until this slew of stars around him rounds into all-star form. Love him or hate him, Sidney Crosby should be appreciated - he has certainly won me over.
