I have a feeling this is Crosby's year, even though he handled finishing behind Malkin last year with class i would be willing to bet finishing third has been eating at him all summer long. I remember him getting interviewed after the season before the playoffs started and being asked if he had ever been out scored by a teammate before. He answered "no, that has never happened to me before, not in pee-wee's, juniors, or the NHL". You could just tell when he was saying it that he was stunned that it had happened, and he was disappointed with himself. Though it will be a tough task to fend of Malkin and AO i believe his determination to be the best, and the fact he has finally switched to a composite stick will lead to a season where he scores between 130 to 150 points with a career high of better than 40 goals.
I have been thinking about writing about this all summer but thought i would save this for the 87th post.
