Nice night for Crosby....

I hope he can stay healthy. Regardless of my like/dislike for an athlete, it would be terrible to see someone so young(24) and talented, have a career ended due to injury.

As a side note, can anyone think of an MVP like player in a league, lose his career to injury, at such a young age. Gayle Sayers comes to mind, he had like 4-5 years.

Or not. They scored 6 tonight. This team will win a cup in the next 5 years.

Bo Jackson. Allstar in baseball and football. He was an amazing athlete. His hip injury ended his football career and pretty much his baseball career. I to this day think he was one of the best athletes ever.

If they get a world class goalie who can stay healthy for a whole season, I agree with you.

Hawks outscored big time the last two games, and the Sharks in SJ tomorrow.....gulp.

I think the Hawks have a great chance. Hawks will play physical and the Sharks have played two extremely physical games against Dallas and Colorado. I thought they were going get beat by the Avs. The Sharks are scoring consistently though. I am guessing its going to be a good one.

Bo was a freak of nature for sure. His combine stats and 40 time are sick.

4.12 sec in 40 yard dash
6' 1" at about 210-220 lbs

Insane speed with power.
