MONTREAL -- Sidney Patrick Crosby's not exactly the type for training wheels.
Sid the Kid was only Sid the Relative Infant, all of three years old, when he began skating here in his home and native land, over in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. And he's kinda done OK for himself since then, as well, almost always as the literal center of attention. Little help needed, even less sought.
But his current situation, as he'd acknowledge Thursday night at Bell Centre after finally getting to score his first goal of the season in the Penguins' 6-0 crushing of the Canadiens, comes with no real precedent in his NHL career.
