Default Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread

You guys are pretty rough on the kid!

I am not a Pittsburgh fan... and not particularly a fan of Crosby, but I can't help cutting him some slack. He is only 21 years old... guess I'm not too old to remember what a putz I was at 21 - full of piss and wind. And I didn't have the hopes of a professional sports team and a city like Pittsburgh depending on me.

My son is 20 and a pretty good kid... but I don't think he could handle all of that pressure - especially with full-grown men trying to take his head off every night. I was such a hot-head at that age, I would have tried to stab somebody with my skate by now!

Gotta say, I enjoy watching the skills he and Ovechkin display on the ice. They both seem pretty immature to me, but I try to remember they ARE immature.
