Is Sid really that Vicious?
Oh dear...
People complain that Sidney Crosby gets too much press and too much hype.
Go figure that the "Anti-Crosby" crowd is coming out now because it's always cool to bash the golden boy.
Let's take Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, who decides to get in a jab at "Sid Vicious"
To his credit, Francis goes on to chide Flames 'enforcer' Chris Simon for his lack of enforcing skills and lazy attitude. Why the need to take a swipe at Crosby? Almost every forward in the NHL knows that you can drive to the net with little consequence these days. Crosby is not a 'punk' or a 'hotshot' because he is doing what Rick Nash, Jerome Iginla, and Joe Thornton get so much credit for doing on a regular basis.

Let's take Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, who decides to get in a jab at "Sid Vicious"
Let's see if we've got this straight: An 18-year-old hotshot violently crashes the net, seriously jeopardizing the health of Flames netminder Miikka Kiprusoff and not one teammate decides to do anything about it.
Not a terse word, not a discouraging shove, not a warranted beating.
Why would this be allowed to happen?
Is it because the offender was NHL golden boy Sidney Crosby.
