Sydney Crosby, the best hockey player on the planet and the face of the league has missed five
straight All-Star Games and has only played in one during his 10-year
NHL career. His high ankle sprain in 2008 kept him out of the Atlanta
All-Star Game and sidelined him for 6-8 weeks. In 2009, it was a left
knee
bruise; he missed a game immediately before the All-Star break. In 2010,
there were Olympics. He missed 2011 and 2012 with concussion symptoms.
Then another lockout. Then the Sochi Games. And now he misses the
Columbus
All-Star Game because of a minor injury ("minor" as the
team says they expect him back next week, potentially missing two games
but nothing more.)
The experts are miffed. They feel that Crosby is not showing loyalty to the organization he represents--but also feeds him. They are clearly experts because we simple slugs would say he is getting the hell kicked out of him, he needs recovery time whenever he can get it and any league that allows intentional injury of its showcase stars as a game tactic deserves no loyalty.
