Sidney Crosby, hockey’s chosen one,
returned to NHL action last night after missing almost a full year with a
concussion, and immediately reminded us what we were missing without him. As a Capitals fan, it pains me to admit this,
but Crosby is the best hockey player on the planet. Crosby netted two goals on eight shots on
goal, also adding two assists, in his return to the ice. Despite my hate of the Penguins and Crosby in
particular, even I have to admit the NHL has been far less interesting with
Crosby off the ice. The absence of an
NBA season looks more and more likely with each passing day, and the NHL needs Crosby
to be back in full force to capitalize on the opportunity to be the premier
winter sport and expand their fan base.
