Hahahaha I hope that's just photoshopped. If you look above at the picture of him holding the fish, it looks as though he has some armpit, chest, and belly button hair that has mysteriously gone missing.
At least he doesn't have dandruff though haha

Good stuff. Speaking of a crisis...is anyone else who uses an iPad having difficulties viewing the videos on the pens website? They appear to have changed their player and I was having a few hits/misses but now none are working for me.

I think he put his arm around everyone he took pics with. It's different being on official penguins business than bumping into him on the street. I guess we all have to buy season tickets and hope we get chosen if we want his arm around us lol

So ugly. They look kinda outdated, like they come from the 70/80's. Big fail on Nike's part.

Crosby's near-ace SATURDAY, 07 SEPTEMBER 2013 15:35 WRITTEN BY SHELLY ANDERSON Penguins center Sidney Crosby has been bitten a little more by the golf bug the past couple of years then he was previously. In a story in the Sunday Post-Gazette, we talk to him about that, and about a whacky shot recently that nearly produced his first hole in one.
Here's a sneak preview:
They were in Vail, Colo., for intense training, but for a break a group of NHL players hit the Red Sky Golf Course a couple of weeks ago.
Sidney Crosby stepped up to the tee at No. 9 on the complex's Fazio course, a 161-yard par 3, and whacked the daylights out of the ball.
"It hit a hill on the right side of the green and bounced down," the Penguins center recalled of the shot. "It was gone if it didn't hit the hill."
There was no bunker there, and the ball had enough velocity to cut through the rough and head for the pin.
"It probably stopped short about a foot," Crosby said. "We all thought it was going in."
That was the closest Crosby has come to a hole in one.
Crosby will join his Penguins teammates at a charity golf outing Tuesday, but beyond that he will need to back off of golf and concentrate on hockey with training camp opening Wednesday.
Away from hockey, golf has become a favorite pastime for Crosby, who rates himself about a 12- or 14-handicap.
"I've played a little bit more lately," he said. "Last year, during the [NHL] lockout, being here and the weather was so good through October and a little bit into November, I got to play probably a little bit more than usual.
"I've gotten into it a little more the last couple of years."
As with hockey or just about any other endeavor, Crosby brings a competitive edge to golf, but his day job keeps him from playing a ton.
"Golf, you have to play," he said. "There's no way to get better unless you play a lot."
He noted that having a long summer to hone your golf skills isn't the best thing for hockey players who are keen on extending the season into June on a regular basis, but he's enjoying playing golf as much as possible.
While he was home in Nova Scotia part of the summer, he got out on the course with some buddies a lot.
"It's a long day. You're out there five, six hours sometimes," Crosby said. "It's not always easy getting rounds in, but it's more about hanging out, getting outside. When you have the time, it's pretty relaxing."
Crosby has won a Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal in hockey. He once hit a home run during a special batting practice for the Penguins at PNC Park.
A hole in one would be a nice addition to the collection.
"I'm not good enough to go looking for holes in one," he said. "If they happen, great, but I'd love to have one, get the bragging rights."
He came oh, so close in Colorado.
"That would have been a fluky one," Crosby said. "It didn't even land on the green.
"It would have been a cool one, but it didn't go."

It's not new. It used to be one of my faves. I think it's from last summer. If not its from the summer of 2010.

Someone from the gf board typed Sids interview from the book, so I thought I would bring it over since many of you no longer visit the gf board. Much thanks to the original poster of the interview.
SIDNEY CROSBY
2007-09-29
Peter Mansbridge: You're now the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and I find it interesting because clearly you've had a debate becoming captain within yourself, on whether to accept this. You’d already turned it down a couple of times. What’s different now? Why did you say yes?
Sidney Crosby: I think I was just more comfortable around the guys. I think that’s a big thing; you want to feel comfortable around the players. They’re going to have to follow, so you have to make sure that you’re ready to lead. Just getting to know the guys better, going through things with them, going through a round of the playoffs and just knowing the responsibility that comes with it—I think you have to take all that into consideration. You have to be ready for that. It just really made me realize that I was ready to make this step. I definitely want to take on the role. Every night I’m going to lead by example and do my best to try to lead everyone in the right path.
PM: Now I know you’ve said that age is just a number, but you’re nineteen, about to turn twenty. Some of these guys who are the team with you are well into their thirties. What’s the challenge there. In leading people who are almost twice as old as you?
SC: I don’t think a lot changes. You know, if you look at the guys being a little bit older, you might say, “Oh, maybe it’s not the right fit.” And that might be the case on another team, but I think on our team there’s such a great relationship between all the guys, and the older guys care so much about the younger guys and they really want to see them do well. They’re there for any questions or advice there is. So really I don’t think my role’s going to change a whole lot, besides the fact that I’m going to be taking on a bit more responsibility. It doesn’t mean I lose respect for the guys who have played a lot longer and gone through a lot more. That’s not the case at all. I’ve talked to guys who’ve been in the league for a long time, and after talking to them I really felt comfortable. And you know, they were all for it. There were guys who were telling me to take this opportunity. It’s a huge honour, and I think that it felt a lot better having heard that from them.
PM: You sometimes get the impression that hockey really is everything for you.
SC: I think so. I mean that it’s something I love to do. For some people it’s different things; for some people its art, some people collect things. Hockey’s my passion. I want to be good at it. But I think I’ve also realize there are other things, outside of hockey. Obviously family is very important.
PM: You know, we’ve talked to your mother. She talked about you and movies, and that you never watched any Disney movies when you were a kid.
SC: No.
PM: You were too busy playing hockey, getting ready for it.
SC: Yeah, well, I think that’s true to a certain point. I loved to play. I wasn’t happy with just sitting down on the couch and watching TV or watching a movie. That’s not something I really enjoyed. I was competitive. I’ve always been competitive. And whether it was baseball or hockey, I played. Ive always just love to compete and be active. Like I said, some people like other things. Now you see a lot of kids into computers and PlayStations and things like that. That just wasn’t for me, especially growing up.
PM: I want to try to understand a little bit about you, because we have a lot of images of you, obviously, as a great hockey player. We’ve all seen that as you became a nationally known junior, and now in the NHL. But we also see you through some of the stories that are told about you. Even the ads you’re in—in the Tim Hortons commercial you are that little guy who wouldn’t come off the ice. You wanted to stay on the ice. Is the true? Were you really like that?
SC: Oh, yeah. And that something you have to consider when you deal with endorsements and things like that; it has to be the right fit and it has to be you. That’s the one thing I take very seriously when these things go out—that it is a true reflection of me. In the case of the Tim Hortons ad, it couldn’t be more me! That’s exactly how I was. I’m still like that now. My coaches were laughing about it after theyd seen that ad, because they said nothing’s changed. It’s just the passion I have, and I think that’s an important part of what I do.
PM: You’ve said before that life’s pretty good for Sidney Crosby. How good is it?
SC: I’m doing something every day that I love to do, and not everyone gets that opportunity. For people who do, they’ll tell you how enjoyable it is to work towards something. You’re really getting a chance to explore your passion, and not everyone gets that opportunity.
PM: What is the ultimate goal? When you say you’re working towards something, what is it?
SC: To win the Stanley Cup. From a team perspective, that’s what you play for. That’s why you play all those games—to get into the playoffs. You play the playoffs to get to the Stanley Cup. And every year that passes by, you know that maybe that’s one year that you might not be able to do it. So for me, I’m lucky enough. I’m young. Hopefully I have a few more cracks at it, but it’s still something you don’t want to take for granted and don’t want to overlook, because there’s a lot of guys who play a long time and don’t win it. So, I’m just hoping that one day I get that opportunity.
PM: How much pressure is there on you? Is it hard to be Sidney Crosby?
SC: I don’t think so. There is a lot of pressure—there’s no hiding that—but I think the pressure that I put on myself is probably the pressure I take most seriously and probably the hardest to deal with. I’m pretty hard on myself and I expect a lot of myself. But as far as what other people put on me, I don’t think it’s something that really worries me a whole lot. I know what I’m capable of doing and I know if I’m being honest with myself. And that’s the most important thing.
PM: Do you enjoy being chippy about it as well? You’re not shy out there when you think something’s gone wrong.
SC: To a certain point. I mean, that’s not an act. That’s my emotion, and I can’t hide that. I can try to channel it, which I think I’m improving at doing, but—
PM: You think you need to?
SC: To a certain point. I think that you need to make sure that your focus is in the right areas. Sometimes it’s easy to get frustrated because a guy’s checking you well or maybe you think there was a call that should have been made. It’s easy to lose your focus. The guys that are successful are the most tough mentally. If you talk about leaders, they’re the guys who can channel that and make sure that it doesn’t get in the way. I’m still learning and I’m still going to make mistakes, but I’m definitely going to try to learn from them.
PM: Do you love it as much as you thought you would?
SC: Yeah, I do. That level of competition is something that I really love. And with all the teams in the NHL being so tight, with the players being so good now, you have to push yourself if you want to survive. That’s something I think drives everyone, but it drives me every day.

For those of you who read the rookie, is it worth it? Does it give you an inclination as to why Sid is the way he is now, or is it outdated 18 year old stuff? I've been on the fence for a while about getting it.

Ya know, I'm also bothered by him not going. He obviously isn't taking it seriously. There's no reason he would have to sit out of the orientation camp if there's no physical activity involved. I know they're going golfing and stuff, and it would be understandable if he sat that out, but the coaches and GM's are using this opportunity to let the players know what their expectations are and stuff. He should really be there so hes on the same page as everyone else. If this was Sid, he would be ripped to shreds over it. It's only 3 days, I'm sure he could have handled it.

Oh he's going all out on the wardrobe now haha. He would make an awful girl. I can't be the only one who finds something that fits perfect and buys it in every colour. I'm convinced he only owns like 5 T-shirts.
