The NHL has rebounded nicely from the disastrous strike season and seems about the cusp of blossoming given the latest television contract and so on. There is only one immediate problem. The NHL has bet heavily one player, Sidney Crosby, in their marketing and that player is now having what appear to be serious concussion problems.Sid the KidI must state off of the bat that i'm no Sid a child fan. Don't misunderstand me. He has been a major player. Just am not really fan of his on ice whining. It just should be no surprise since he endured his boss, Mario Lemieux, an all time whiner. Regardless, it won't diminish within the incontrovertible fact that Crosby is usually an incredibly important player towards the league. If you don't trust me, take a short look at a number of the calls he gets! When referees reference him as "Mr. Crosby", you're sure you will have a problem but I digress...Poster BoyThe inescapable fact is Crosby has been created the poster child of one's NHL.

You may be the NHL hopes so.Additionally you can end up being Pittsburgh Penguins will never let Matt Cooke anywhere near Crosby!
