Crosby? Does that sound right to you? He's so young... that's a lot to put on the guy when he really has to still be feeling out the big league. No question he's a hell of a player but leader?
I see a repeat of the Joe Thornton situation in Boston... too much pressure, too many expectations. The kid had 102 pts on the 2nd worst team in the league already, why put MORE on his shoulders?
