Jeremy Roenick hasn’t been shy about praising Sidney Crosby. He dropped quite a few jaws last season when he shared his belief that Crosby is “way more talented” than Wayne Gretzky, although those comments were probably taken out of context in many cases.
Regardless – or maybe because of – Roenick’s high opinion of Crosby,
he admitted to some serious fatigue about the roller coaster of updates regarding Sid the Kid’s health. Whether we like it or not, Crosby’s health will be an issue for a long time, but it’s hard to blame Roenick for feeling beaten down by the drama.

VonZipper: I agree with most of your statement. When Sid the Kid came up, he had way more maturity and class than anyone I've seen even close to his age. He had mad skills and there were continuous highlight reels of his moves. Unfortunately, the media has gone too far with watching his every move. I think that all that attention finally got to him and Sid started thinking his opinion mattered more he should. Eventually he became a whiner.
Buck: Please listen: I don't hate Crosby. I think he was one of, if not the most, skilled players on the ice at that time. I am sick of the media.
