Crosby gets his first 50 Goal Season

Sid the Kid finished the NHL season in style notching his first 50 goal season and securing the Rocket Richard Trophy for the first time (tied with Stamkos from the Tampa Bay Lightning) after banging in two nice goals during the Penguins last game of the season. Crosby became the first Penguin to reach 50 goals since Jaromir Jagr in 2000-01, and it is also the first time the trophy has been split between players since 2003-04 when Rick Nash, Jarome Iginla and Ilya Kovalchuk all tied with 41 goals each.

Crosby finished the season with 109 points tied for second overall with Washington’s Alex Ovechkin, finishing ahead of them by three point was Henrik Sedin who secured the 2010 Art Ross Trophy; a first for the Swede and also the first time anybody from the Vancouver Canucks ever won the award.

Crosby finished the season 1st in goals, 2nd in points, 5th in shots, 6th in power play goals, and 8th in assists.

And then the 51st goal

$10000 reward for missing Stick & Glove

Crosby once again has had his historic hockey memorabilia stolen. Last after scoring the over time winning goal for team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympic gold medal game things got pretty hectic. Sidney was ecstatic and threw his gloves and stick into the air just as the rest of his teammates mobbed him in the celebration. Then after all the commission was finished each Canadian player (except Crosby) was able get all their equipment back.

All that remained was one of his gloves and his mouthpiece. In the past Crosby has had some of his jerseys stolen from his bag while traveling. Hockey Canada officials have apparently checked various game video and photos in order to try and find clues of the missing items but have not had any success so far.

Reebok, Crosby’s official equipment sponsor has decided to help try and recover the missing hockey stick and glove with a “no questions asked” $10,000 reward to anyone who returns the items.

The game-used sports memorabilia has become a booming business these days and when an item is from a player like Crosby and also has historical attribute, then it could legitimately go for a lot more then the $10,000 Reebok is offering for the return.

So if any body knows the wear about of Sidney’s latest lost items then they certainly should cash in on the award money.

Crosby gets second hat trick this season

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:27:53 +0000

Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins won for the fourth time in the past five games, with an 8 to 3 victory over the New York Rangers. It was also pretty ironic, that the Penguins had a free “Penguins” cap give away to all fans at Mellon Arena last night as well.

And so as fate would have it what a great night for the Penguins super star Sidney Crosby to notch his second hat trick of the season (the last one was on October 28 in a 6-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens).

It was Crosby’s fourth career hat trick and he had two assists as well to also make it his second “five-point” game. He scored a goal in the first period (as well as 2 assists), then notched two more in the third period.

The Rangers have not won a game (regulation games) at Mellon Arena in their past 13 attempts.

The Pittsburgh Penguins win allowed them to remain tied with Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with 36 points each.

Sidney Crosby runs with Olympic flame

Sidney Crosby added another iconic piece of hardware to his stellar collection, except this time it wasn’t a trophy but a 2010 Winter Olympic torch.

Thousands of Maritimes lined up both sides of downtown Halifax streets to watch the Penguins captain carry the torch in a mitten-covered hand for about 300 meters. Dressed with the official torchbearer uniform, Crosby grinned and jogged below historic Citadel Hill as the bright, orange flame burned above his head.

Crosby’s hometown of Cole Harbour is located across the harbour from Halifax.

The winter games are scheduled to be held in Vancouver British Columbia in February 2010. Crosby is expected to play on the top line this time; Sidney was snubbed by Team Canada at the last winter Olympics in 2006.

Perhaps the Olympic torch run for Crosby will bring him some good luck for his play at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Crosby misses third straight game

DALLAS (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby missed his third straight game Sunday because of a groin injury.

Crosby, who began the day third in the NHL scoring race with 79 points, was injured a week earlier in a game against the Washington Capitals.

Crosby skated Sunday morning before the Penguins faced the Dallas Stars and said he felt better, but not well enough to play in a game.

For those that may not know, Sidney Crosby is a young professional hockey player whom currently plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey league (NHL). He was the first pick overall of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and one of the leading scorers during the 2005-06 NHL season finishing 6th in scoring with 102 points.

He is often known as the Next One and certainly is star player material as in his first season alone he led his team in scoring and has already broken team records set by Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, and league records such as being the youngest player to reach the 100 point mark in their rookie season.

Sidney Crosby has been viewed by many as hockey’s next great talent, one who might be good enough to rival Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, a title that many young up and coming stars have been given but have never been able to live up to.

Crosby continues to build upon his early NHL successes, still earning many firsts and continuing to break both team and league records. At the young age of 19 led the NHL with 120 points (36 goals, 84 assists) to win the Art Ross Trophy and he lead the Penguins to a 47-24-11 record and their first playoff game since the 2000-2001 season. His leadership was also recognized by the team, as they named him the team Captain in May making him the youngest team captain in NHL history.
