Crosby returns and does fairly well in first game.

Obviously, Sidney Crosby did better than just fairly well in his return to the Pens lineup. Someone I know called that he was going to get 4 points and this same person also predicted that Steve Sullivan would score last night. Good predictions.
Crosby scored two goals and earned two assists in last night's 5-0 win against the Islanders. In fact, his first shot of the night turned into his first goal. I'd say that is a pretty good return, pretty decent. Of course, I am being sarcastic. Only Sidney Crosby would come back from missing ten months of hockey and have such a spectacular night. Just how lucky are we as Pens fans? Well, last night's game showed us just how lucky we are.
Though, I can't wait to see the Pens against a bit of a better team than the Islanders since they are having their struggles this season.
We'll get a chance to see the team against the St. Louis Blues tomorrow night.

There was a topic brought up on several occasions, once in Crosby's press conference last night and I heard some chatter on the radio as well about the topic also. The topic was about Sidney Crosby's reaction after his first goal in last night's game. Not just the excitement but for a certain word Crosby said after scoring. Crosby said he hoped people at home were not lip reading because he happened to say a bad word, but why are people so surprised? It was good to see him happy, that's for sure and I could not care less what he muttered after that goal. People are acting as if they have never heard him say the word or in this case, see him say the word. That's how you know a lot of occasional Pens fans were watching took note. I've read that word from Crosby's mouth too many times to count. I think he earned the right to say the word after scoring last night and a lot of other times too.

It's exciting to see Crosby back and to see him do so well in his first game. The talk of the scoring race and Sid's potential of winning it is already taking place just after last night's game. Well, I don't make predictions and I tend not to think so prematurely on such things. We will just have to wait and see what happens, but I am just happy to watch Pens games like last night's game and hope they keep coming.
