Sidney Wants Me to Talk About Someone Else

Yeah, apparently Sidney Crosby thinks this series isn't about him ...

Riiiight. As if anyone is watching the series for anything else. Does anyone really care about Jason Spezza, Ray Emery, or Dany Heatley? Do you read Playboy for the articles?

From Pierre LeBrun:

Sidney Crosby may be the NHL's leading scorer but he's also still a teenager.

And he sounded wise beyond his years Thursday when downplaying his role in getting the Pittsburgh Penguins back on track in their first-round playoffs series with the Ottawa Senators. "It's not me versus the Senators," Crosby said after practice. "It's our team. Maybe sometimes people don't realize that but that's the way it is. And we're not going to get anywhere without our group.

"I'm not going to help my team by trying to do it myself."

The 19-year-old superstar was largely kept in check in Wednesday night's 6-3 loss in Game 1 at Scotiabank Place, scoring a late power-play goal but only getting three shots on net.

Sidney was doing badly when he was trying to do it all by himself. Remember that slump? That being said, he's the big story and better do better in Game 2.
