Pros & Cons Of Crosby's Return

By -
For The Lady Readers of AHF
A couple days ago it was speculated that superstar forward, Sidney Crosby, would be returning to action as early as Sunday afternoon.  This made Canadian hockey personalties go crazy, and left fans making some big decisions with their fantasy hockey rosters.

Among all of the positive things Crosby brings to the game, there is also a handful of negative.  I think it's important that we examine both the pros, and cons of Sidney Crosby's return to the NHL.

As always, I've prepared a quick list of these pros and cons to break down Crosby's long awaited return to the game:





Pro: With Crosby back in the lineup for the Pens, they're sure to make a deep run into the playoffs this year.
Con: Having to see close up, HD shots of Crosby's upper lip for two months in April & May.

Pro: Having one of the most entertaining and talented players in the league back on your tv making huge plays.
Con: Having one of the most entertaining and talented players in the league back on your tv selling you coffee, equipment, shoes, bread, and gatorade during every intermission.

Pro: Watching our Olympic hero get back out on the ice and take his first shift in the Black & Gold.
Con: Being distracted while Crosby is on the ice because NBC has replaced their 'shift clock' timer with a 'hit to the head' counter for Crosby shifts.

Pro: It's always great to see such a classy guy return from injury and get back into the game he loves.
Con: As you read all of this, he probably just scored two goals against your favourite team.  Note if you are a Maple Leafs fan multiple this number by an additional two.  

Pro: Being able to once again take in the magic and sick moves that Crosby brings to the ice every game.
Con: Having this magic ruined when Pierre Mcguire turns it into some sort of strange sexual fantasy.

Pro: Sales of Crosby jerseys are almost guaranteed to rise which is great for the NHL and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Con: You cannot exchange your Jeff Carter Blue Jackets jersey for a Crosby jersey.

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Wow, talk about a busy day in Montreal. MTL trades Erik Cole to DAL for Michael Ryder. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 26, 2013 And then: Fever, stuffy, headache, chills, then you've got a co... concussion really? #renebourque — AngryHabsFan (@AngryHabsFan) February 26, 2013 Twitter is great isn't it.  Funny how journalists make big dough to write stories about breaking tweets. All praise our lord and saviour Marc Bergevin. Goodbye Mr. Cole, you will be missed when we remember 2011/2012.  Not so much this year.
