Sid the Kid, Just That...

Well the Pittsburg Penguins goon squad was out in full force last night as the pesky Pens failed to tally a marker against the high flying Red Wings.
Sidney Crosby must grow a bit and do it fast or his team will be on the outside looking in for a second year in a row. Another Stanley Cup lose could prove detrimental to the Pens’ team during the off-season.
Last night’s game five was more of a circus side show from the defending Eastern conference champs than a match up.
The box score reads more like a laundry list of tips on “How to be a goon squad”.
Three 10-minute misconducts, three slashing penalties, elbowing, high sticking, interference with the goal keeper...12 penalties in all. It was reminiscent of game four in Chicago where the Black Hawks were in a constant parade to the sin bin with 16 penalties.
This is where “Sid the Kid” must stop being a kid and become a leader. The big “C” means leading by example and letting the wheels come off like last night’s train wreck is not the way to do it.
The most despicable act from last night’s game was Maxime Talbot’s slash on Pavel Datsyuk’s injured foot.
