After two weeks of amazing hockey that ended up with an overtime goal by Sidney Crosby to give the goal medal to Canada in the Winter Olympics, we arrived to a great stage in the NHL with the best teams in the league already thinking playoffs.
Crosby with just 22 years old has become a living legend after that goal against the United States, at his short age he has won a goal medal and a Stanley Cup already, the worst for the part for the opponents is that he looks in pretty good shape to repeat with the Penguins this year.
Pittsburgh is second in the East conference just behind the Washington Capitals but is hard to bet against the Penguins whenever the NHL odds listed them as favorites.
They own a four games winning streak including wins against the Rangers and the Sabres after the Winter Olympics break.
Also keep in mind Sidney Crosby lead his teams with 84 points meaning of course he is the go to guy for this offense. He has scored 44 goals and 40 assists in 65 games played so far in the season, something that left no clue about who is the star of this team.
Consider that the next best player is Evgeni Malkin as he has 68 points result of 23 goals and 45 assists.
In addition the thing about this Penguins team is that they get unfired when they need to as Crosby an company seem to be money in the bank whenever the hardest games arrived in the schedule.

This week, LT of the Chargers said in an interview that he will not be returning to the San Diego Chargers. Although he has not been officially released, this shows the first signs that LT will no longer wear a San Diego uniform. Should the fans of San Diego be concerned?
No. And let me tell you why.
A few years ago, LT was the premier running back in the NFL. THE. PREMIER. RUNNING BACK. I personal think that in his prime, no one could touch what LT did. He holds the records for most touch downs in a season and made people look
But the past few seasons, LT has been less than par when it comes to getting the job done. He has been mediocre at best during the season, and well below par during the off season when it matters the most. If he plays during the playoffs, that is. One season, he decided that an “injury” would keep him from playing in that game. As I recall, the San Diego quarterback in the same game blew out a knee, wrapped it, and came back. That shows dedication for you.
So should San Diego be worried that LT is leaving? Not really.
Darren Sproles continues to have great seasons year in and year out. So giving Sproles the full time job will allow the Chargers that sharp run offense that they need in correlation with the amazing pass defense with Rivers and his receives. However, I do believe that the Chargers do need that bigger, stronger back from the short yardage type plays.
But that is just my opinion. I would love to hear yours.

First, let me say I know I am late on posting about this issue in the sports world. I try not to post the second something comes because I want to see how the story develops.
This issue posed a few questions in my head:
1) Should we care about Tiger’s, or any other athletes for that matter, personal life outside of sports? Sports are their job. It is like us getting all pissed about some CEO doing the same thing, right? I don’t think so. I have never heard a kid say “when I grow up, I want to be just like the CEO of Joe Blow company”. Ok, maybe a few kids want to be CEOs, but they don’t look up to and admire them like kids do professional athletes. By Tiger having an affair, in my mind, he is telling all those kids that have dreams and aspirations of being the next big thing thinking “Since I am big and famous, I could neglect my duties as a father and a husband because I am lonely and go cheat”. To me, yes, I think we should care about what Tiger and other athletes do in their personal lives because what they do trickle down to the youth of today, who are the future Tiger Woods of tomorrow.
2)Should Tiger lose his sponsors for this incident? YES. If I have a million dollar product like Gatorade and I have a high level athlete like Tiger sponsoring my product, I am very worried right now. Gatorade is a household name. It is not just for athletes. People of every walks of life walks into a 7-11 or any convenient store and if they are thirsty, Gatorade is a very viable option for them to drink. With that said, there are many people who hold their marriage vows to heart and the idea of cheating is absolutely repulsive (I am one of those people and damn proud of it). So if Gatorade is linked to Tiger, and Tiger is linked to infidelity, gatorade now is getting a bad name for their product.
3) Should Tiger be able to play professional golf again? YES. If you have read this are, 1) thank you and 2) you know my stance on what I think about people that cheat and cheating itself. However, I also firmly believe that people should be given a second chance. Should Tiger go about his business like nothing happened? Absolutely not! Some punishment I believe should be taken, both by the PGA and his sponsors. However, I do think he needs to be given the chance to start over again and prove to people it was a mistake. People are human. Humans make mistakes. Our greed and lust get the best of us sometimes. People need to be given a second chance to redeem themselves. I think Tiger should be given that chance, just like Michael Vick was given a chance.
I know not everyone will agree with me on this post, and as always, I welcome the discussions. Let me know your opinions on the questions about.
