Blindsided

     As you probably already know by now, Sidney Crosby has a mild concussion. David Steckel, of the Washington Capitals, blindside hit him during the Winter Classic, which by the way, was an epic fail. Now, I know blindside hits are terrible, and should be deal it very harshly, but between my fits of uncontrollable crying and throwing shoes at my window, I realized how unfair this hit truly was. Crosby did nothing to deserve that hit. He didn't instigate any fights. He never said anything to Steckel. He didn't even have the puck! But the worst part is, that was the perfect example of  a intentional blindside hit to the head, and Steckel didn't even receive a penalty! Absolutely ridiculous. Apparently, Steckel had no intention of hitting Crosby. Lies. Sidney Crosby is one of the best hockey players alive, insanely rich (and good looking), and probably would have creamed the Capitals if he hadn't been hit. If you were Steckel, wouldn't you want to hit him? And I find it incredibly hard to believe that 6"2 Steckel and his shoulder just happened to hit Crosby in the head. Apparently, the Pittsburgh Penguins doctors think that Crosby's mild concussion wasn't caused by the Steckel hit, but by a hit the following Wednesday. No, just no. I know I'm not a doctor, but I saw both hits and one of them was far worse than the other, and I bet you could guess which one it was. A concussion can be caused by by many hits, not just one but Crosby's concussion was defiantly caused at the Winter Classic.

      Now to even more depressing stuff. The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost every game they've played in since Sidney's been gone. Super ridiculous. So, what? You guys can't play one game without him? Do you really expect him to score every goal? He's one player, and one player does not make a team. Step it up, and win some games. Stop pouting about how your captain isn't here to pass you the puck or score the game winning goal. Be a man and do it yourself.
