Here, here! :sohappy: I like to call it the Tiger Woods syndrome (um, before Thanksgiving that is.) :lookaroun The media force feeds these individuals ad nauseam on us and force us to either love them or hate them.
My problem with Sid is, like Tiger, the NHL is trying to market the whole sport on his shoulders, and his shoulders alone. They live and die with Crosby as their savior, their "Golden Boy". ... And so far in his young career I have seen a boy/man who has ALOT of growing up to do if he wants to be compared to Gretzky, Lemieux, Yzerman, Sakic as being great ambassadors of the game of hockey. A good example of a young man in the NHL right now who I feel is the perfect example of what a young up and coming great leader should be is bdevil4's boy Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks. He carries himself like a leader on and off the ice and the NHL needs to start promoting these types of players more in my opinion. :shrug:
