Sidney Crosby is on the cover of Sport's Illustrated Canada. It's amazing what Sid has gone through to become great! He is so driven that he's become a perfectionist. Talbot says, "Every special talent has to be a little crazy, and he's definitely crazy." I literally laughed like crazy when I heard Colby Armstrong's (former roommate, now with the Thrashers) comment on Crosby. He describes him as having, "Huge legs and a massive booty!" HA! I also find it amazing how jealous people can become. When Crosby was 14, he was so good that the other player's parents were very jealous of him; they would say things like I hope you break your neck!" and "I hope you get killed!" They'd tease and mock Crosby so much that he'd cry. The tormenting became so bad, that they had to send him to America for a year. But Crosby grew from those experiences and became more determined to do better. Which shows what an awesome player he really is. When he came home to Forrest Hill, Cole Harbour Nova Scotia, he played a game of roller hockey with his best childhood friends. He';s such a selfless and caring guy; he made sure his friends got a chance to parade the cup around. Crosby's life is obviously centered around hockey. He carries his father's dreams, Pittsburgh's dreams and now Canada's dreams on his shoulders...a heavy load for anyone to carry. However, he does it with determination and appreciation for those who believe in him. Which brings me to my own quote I thought up about him....Dream, Crosby did.
