Sorry for the long delay between posts, i have been very busy and the Pens have been playing so well that i have not had much to say other than they look great right now.
So here is an interesting topic i have been thinking about and discussing with a couple of friends. What has got into Sidney Crosby, since he came back from the groin injury he has been on fire. Here are the couple senario's that i have thought of that may explain the difference in his play.
1. He has been injured and sick most of the season and the 5 days off gave him a chance to get healthy.
2. He plays much better in Bylsma's system compared to Therrien's.
3. He finally has some linemates that can play up to his level.
4. With Malkin excelling and hearing MVP chants at every home game, some of the presser is off Crosby so he is playing much better.
5. its a combination of all the things listed above
In my opinion its a combination of scenario 1, 2, and 4, I think the rest helped him dramatically and the intense forechecking and up beat offense in Bylsma's system plays right into Crosby's game. But i honestly think Crosby is playing so much better because the pressure has been some what taken off of him, for the first time in his career he is flying under the radar which is amazing considering he is the second leading scorer in the league. Let me know what you think, to me this is a very interesting question.
