The insurance thing is the most ridiculous shit I've heard. They didn't have this problem in 1997, 2001, 2005, or 2009 but they do in 2013? Team USA has already confirmed no one will be skating. How the hell do you match lines up and see how players react to each other? What kind of insurance are we talking about for Sochi if they can't even casually suit up in the first place? (http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2013/07/19/sp-olympics-canada-insurance-issues-hockey-camp-sochi-crosby-yzerman.html). Actually, it was an issue in 2009, as the NHL as a rule doesn't provide insurance for players who play in the Olympics. www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=286897It was also an issue in 2005, not just for the Olympics but international competitions as well. sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?id=1912251

Forgive me for being a bit slow but, from the article about Taylor, can someone please interpret this section for me: (Interviewer Question) People talk about your brother’s work ethic and how it separates him from a lot of other top players in the NHL, where do you think he got it from? (Taylor's response) “It’s crazy, he talks about different things that he does in workouts that I think are insane, and how he refuses to eat anything good in his diet. He basically eats nothing haha, it has to be good for him.... Does this mean that Sid only eats junkfood or that he doesn't eat (obviously not literally)? I'm just so confused. I think she means Sid doesn't eat the good stuff (like Pizza, Chocolates, Cakes, Cookies, and other things good but is essentially unhealthy). So yeah, he eats healthy food.... which could be considered not food by a lot of people.... therefore, he eats nothing... but since it's healthy food, it's good for him.

Ladies, you crack me up lol .. If I'd ever met him, which is highly improbable, I'd probably smile awkwardly and I'd turn red like a tomato lol And say something stupid Yup, me too, Janine. And yeah seeing as I'm on the other side of the globe, unless Sid gets an itch somewhere to travel to Asia, I'll probably never meet the guy. LOL.

Oooooh! I like that color on him, turquoise is one of my favorite colors I agree. So seldom do we see him wear brighter shades of clothing. He looks absolutely yummy in turquoise.

I think languages just aren't his strong suit. He grew up in Magnitogorsk, which was a closed city until the mid 80's. Closed city in Russia were cities where foreigners weren't allowed to enter, so I imagine that people growing up there have a culturally ingrained hesitation at embracing anything foreign. And while Geno might have conquered most of the aversion, his brain might be unconsciously resisting picking up languages because he grew up in such environment.

sarahh.... as have been said over and over by a lot of people on here. We collectively agree he's single. If he was in a relationship someone somewhere would have posted pics proving it. He can't go anywhere without people tweeting it, someone would have bound to say something about a girl if he was consistently with her.

Feel free not to post here again then. Random statements that don't have proof or evidence attached is why the other board goes crazy. Everybody arguing if the person claiming something is lying or telling the truth and people are pulled to take sides. You have to understand the reason this board was put up was to avoid that. As R said, put up the link as proof or don't say nothing at all if you're not willing to do so. Just keep the info to yourself.

Sakky, I love the pics of Sid in NS, I'd willingly return to a life in the middle of nowhere if it came with that! I know right? I'm a city girl, born and bred, but I'd learn to like the middle of anywhere if it came with something like that. Haha!

Hmmm, those pics sitting with his mom on the bleachers. They both have hands in their pockets. Maybe that's who he gets it from. Anyways, saw this old pic of Sid in NS with his dog, Sam. Looks so gorgeous.

How do you all know that he is not dating Kathy anymore? Because he is all summer in LA and she lives there. Besides she is beautiful and seems to be intelligent. I would date her if I was Sid If he was still dating her don't you think we'd have seen pic of her in games the past couple of years? Or even together? Or someone spying Kathy in Pittsburgh? The man can't even go for lunch or dinner or to a bar or walk down the street or to a grocery without anyone tweeting something about seeing him. So if he's dating this girl, which was reported a few years back, fangirls would be on the lookout for her presence in the Pitts, even at the airport. So no, I don't believe he's dating anyone. Otherwise, someone somewhere would have said something. Can't have a relationship when you only see each other two months a year. Besides he only started training in LA last year and them dating was reported around 2010.

I agree Scottish, and this is how rumour starts. And here I thought that's why we're on this new board. To escape the craziness of rumored, speculated or what-if girlfriends... and the catfights that inevitably go with the topic. LOL.

Almost all of Canada's players deserve Captaincy, tbh. They are stacked with talent and leadership potential. The only one I have any issue being named C is Giroux.
