Periodically I like to check in on Sidney Crosby of the Rimouski Oceanic, the best prospect in hockey. Last night, Crosby set up four goals in the first period to power the Oceanic to a 7-3 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League victory over the Gatineau Olympiques.
Crosby now has 51 points, including 36 assists, and he has a 12 point lead over Alex Bourret of the Lewiston Maineiacs and Stanislav Lascek of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in the QMJHL scoring race.
The NHL lockout has me starving for the World Junior Championship which get under way on Christmas Day. Crosby is going to be a huge part of our team this year and a victory would mean Canada is the reigning champion from the Olympics, World Championship, World Cup and World Juniors. Not bad...
