Preseason: Senators 5 - Penguins 2

Ahh, yes, it's time for the games that matter not.

Well, at least the hometown Crosby fans in Halifax got a nice thrill by seeing their boy play against the Ottawa Senators in the pre-season tilt.

The kid even made it worthwhile as he scored a goal in the loss.

In a building where he was often jeered as a junior, Sidney Crosby was enveloped in cheers Tuesday night on his return as a forgiven hero.

The 19-year-old phenom, who grew up mere kilometres from the Halifax Metro Centre, played for the first time as a pro in his hometown during the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators in NHL pre-season play.
