Don't Forget About Sidney Crosby
by Halifax freehookup.online
After the infamous game with Washington in the Outdoor Classic, the Pittsburgh Penguins were dumbfounded when Sidney Crosby could not return from the lineup in a seemingly innocuous hit. Aaaron Steckel claimed not to have known Crosby was in the vicinity, but when one was turning north and the other was turning south, Aaron's elbow contacted Crosby's head, since Sidney is shorter by six inches.
Some critics believe that Steckel was malicious in his act, and others absolve him of any wrong-doing, and deem the play “accidental”. The worst aspect of the situation was that Crosby was well on his way to the Art Ross Trophy, the Hart Trophy, and perhaps the Rocket Richard award as well. Nova Scotia hookups cringed during multiple replays of the elbow, and Halifax call girls figured the Penguins season to then be a write off. But Coach Dan Bylsma kept the hearts of the players strong, and preached togetherness in light of the monumental loss, the loss of their captain.
Halifax hookups, at times, had flashbacks to Sidney's time in Rimouski, and couldn't help but reflect; much like the parent does after a child perishes tragically. Sidney's banner year perished with that blow to the head, and it was the factor that sparked new legislation in the league regarding head shots. It was a page out of the book of the National Football League, in that hockey executives were willing to severely penalize high hits and attempts to injure.
At the trade deadline of 2011, the Penguins thought they could salvage the season when they traded for adult power forward James Neal. Neal was a thirty goal scorer in a stingy Dallas offence, so Pittsburgh had no problem trading Alex Goligoski, as Kris Letang had a breakout year, and factored in the lineup in ways Bylsma didn't think was possible. It was particularly impressive since Evgeni Malkin was injured as well, and Jordan Staal took the team as far as he could, which was no longer than the first round of the playoffs, understandably so. Halifax hookup girls wept when Staal showed his emotion as the press conference following his team's elimination game.
The prognosis for Crosby's return is for sometime next season, and it's hopeful that he returns to his old form. Penguins fans and hookups in Halifax often have nightmares that Crosby turned into Marc Savard, the Bruin who was hit and concussed by the sneaky Matt Cooke. Hockey fans in Nova Scotia liken the Steckel hit to every one of Matt Cooke's suspend-able ones, except it was the worst-case scenario as well. Cooke needed a massage after the ambush from the media and all of the allegations of malice on the ice, but hookups forgive his transgressions.
