PenguinPoops: Top Ten reasons Sidney Crosby wasn’t on Letterman

We asked our PenguinPoop readers to give us the top ten reasons they felt Sidney Crosby didn’t go and do David Letterman’s Top Ten and here is the answers that we got:

#10) He was too busy searching for his hockey equipment.
#9) He couldn’t get off the phone with Ovechkin, who just kept sobbing.
#8) Because David hit on his mother.
#7) He was crying in the fetal position after a nightmare that he was actually Marian Hossa.
#6) He was waiting for Leno to call.
#5) Matt Cooke checked him in the head during practice and he forgot who he was.
#4) Letterman wouldn’t let him shoot pucks at the gap in his teeth.
#3) He was too hungover after partying on the ice with the Canadian womans hockey team
#2) They wouldn’t fulfill the rider in his contract of having a dryer back stage to shoot pucks at.
#1) He had to babysit Lemieux’s kids that night.

We did get lots of other answers like:  Afraid Dave would hit on him.  &  He was too busy winding Ryan Miller’s watch for him while he cried.  Then of course someone gave us what probably is the real reason:  He was trying to get the media off his back.

The tough part was picking out the best ten!  Thanks Everyone!

There is a Giant Canadian Microscope Pointed at Sidney Crosby

Every single thing that Sidney Crosby has done since scoring what the Canadians have dubbed the “Golden Goal” has been diagnosed, analyzed, investigated, re-diagnosed and interpreted by writers, bloggers, commentators, farmers, the girls that want to marry Crosby and every single person who is old enough to have an opinion North of the Border.

Hey Sidney Crosby’s luggage was lost. Hey Crosby turned down David Letterman. Hey the fans in Pittsburgh booed Crosby when he returned. Most likely some of this stuff has merit as a big story, for example most likely his gloves and stick would be headed to or would already be in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

This is not the first time that Crosby turned down David Letterman and it probably won’t be the last.  This is not hurting the NHL, the NHL is doing a good enough job of that without any help, Crosby not being on Lettermen is getting the NHL more press than they would have got had he gone on.

The fans in Pittsburgh did not boo Sidney Crosby, we did not cheer real loud, but our soft cheering or non cheering combined with the booing of a couple of hundred or so Buffalo Sabres fans who made the 3 hour drive to the game in hopes of cheering on Silver Medal winning Ryan Miller made it sound like we were booing. I assure you that Pittsburgh hockey fans did not boo Sidney Crosby.

My favorite articles and posts to read are the ones that say Crosby has no personality or that he is boring. Yes, it is true that he doesn’t ...
