Living in Pittsburgh and having Sidney Crosby 24/7 in the media, where do you (or any of the countless bashers on the blogs) get there information about Crosby. He came in the league at 17. Lives at Lemieux's house with his kids. Has never been involved in anything negative outside hockey. Gives interviews like a 20 year veteran. So what, he whines too much? I guess he can't talk when he plays? I never understood what the negative press is, other then pure jealousy. I'd like to see how other multimillionaire 20 year olds handle the position he is in and then call him classless. As far as the handshake, give me a break. I guess when he wins a few more, he will follow the right protocol.
