It Just May Not Be Crosby’s Time

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
He’s been hyped for so long, and has proven to be such a prodigious talent, that surely it’s only reasonable that with his team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in such need of a saviour in this year’s Stanley Cup final, that he must be that saviour.
Well, consider the possibility that this is not Crosby’s time. Not yet.
Just because there’s a demand for a spectacular rescue performance with the Penguins down two games to none to the Detroit Red Wings, and just because so many have equated these Penguins with the 1984 Edmonton Oilers that finally knocked down the door and beat the New York Islanders to win their first Cup, doesn’t mean the script will unfold that way.
Crosby, you see, may not be ready for that. Not quite.
