I can’t imagine there have been many memorable preseasons for Sidney Crosby over the years. Most years it is play a few games and acclimate yourself to game speed against outside competition while side stepping some of the younger players trying to make a mark with a big hit. This year is a lot different. The Penguins are playing in Halifax and it has been the homecoming you would expect it to be for Crosby.

Crosby and the Penguins have been in Halifax for a number of days hanging out where their captain and leader grew up. Crosby’s dented washer has made an appearance. The team practiced in the rink Crosby got his start in and then ran a clinic for the local kids. This hasn’t been just another preseason game. Their leader got to go home and show off his pride, something he keeps close to the vest in most situations.

You can tell how much this means to Crosby and you can tell how much his teammates are invested in him as well. It is about as good of a preseason experience as you’ll see.




Evgeni Malkin played a big supporting role so far in the trip helping Sid run the camp for the locals and of course insert his special brand of humor along the way




The Crosby family is keeping everyone well fed



As for the actual game it looks to be another quality lineup for the Penguins. One which would be used in a regular season game.



For all Crosby has given to the city of Pittsburgh and the Penguins it is nice to see him get to come home and share his NHL family with his hometown one.
