Sidney Crosby: There Is An Answer
Posted December 18, 2015
Sidney Crosby does not look like a confident hockey player.
He needs to find his confidence again.
It's really that simple.
But it's also really...that complicated.
When Crosby entered the league he was 18...he was Sid The Kid.
He led by example.
His example was powerful because he simply enjoyed playing the game of hockey and he was one of the best in the world at doing it. He... Read More »
Dear NHL; Your Game Sucks
Posted November 10, 2015

Why did the guy that a lot of people consider to be one of the most competitive guys in hockey...look so defeated throughout most of the playoffs?
Why did he not look 'up to the challeng... Read More »
