Sidney Crosby on His Game: I’m Trying to Find it (+)

There were plenty of light-hearted distractions Monday for Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, but he also took a few minutes to offer an evaluation of his performance through 10 games.

That wasn’t so light-hearted.

The Penguins are 3-6-1, have lost five in a row (0-4-1), including an 0-3-1 trip to western Canada. A game at home Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild figures to stir some emotions – former Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to make his final NHL start in Pittsburgh.

That was the primary line of questions for Crosby during an interview with a flock of reporters after practice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex – a session that was interrupted by laughter when Wild general manager and former Crosby teammate/linemate Bill Guerin crashed the interview briefly.
