Our long-suffering nightmare is over.
Sidney Crosby finally put pen to paper on Monday, ending a months-long contract extension saga and recommitting (what is likely) the rest of his professional playing career to the team that drafted him first overall in 2005.
The focus for the hardwired Crosby now shifts to the ice, as he is getting ready to enter his 20th training camp with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Crosby, like most dominant professional athletes, is fueled by winning. He has taken the famous “hometown discount” in the name of winning (or hopefully using that extra money that would have gone to him to field a more competitive team around him).
