Yesterday, November 21st, 2011, was the great return of of Sidney Crosby to the Pittsburgh Penguins. This has been long over due, 8 months to be exact.This couldn't have came at a better time for the Pens. With a lot of their big name guys going down, and not playing they way they normally play when Crosby is in the game, the Pens were more than happy to see Sid back on the ice. He couldn't have returned in a bigger way, scoring 4 points in the 5-0 win over the New York Islanders. Crosby scored the first goal of the game, and didn't look back from there. Sid had 2 assists and 2 goals in this game, all of witch came on his back hand. The entire pens line up seemed to just come out and play at a much higher level then they played without him in the starting line up. Everyone, including goaltender Marc Andre Fleury who shut out the Islanders, played like they did when they won the Stanley Cup. Staal, Malkin, Cooke, Neal, everyone on the line up including the new guys on the team looked like they had a new life to them. If the Pens can stay healthy then I think they will make yet another run to the Stanley Cup Finals and win regardless of who they play. If they look and play as hard as they did last night, then there is nothing that can stand in their way and no one in the entire NHL will even come close to matching this team goal for goal. I hope they can stay healthy and stay out of trouble so that once again we can see Sid The Kid lift Lord Stanley's Trophy for the second time since he did in 2009.
