| All I can say about the emotions and feelings at the Air Canada Centre last night is, pandemonium. As my family and I walked towards the dressing rooms down at the Event Level, a few minutes before the pre-game skate, I could see clearly the tons of people huddled down the hall by the Pittsburgh dressing room trying to get a look at their own canadian native Sidney Crosby. It was crazy, obviously, since it was Crosby's first NHL game on Canadian soil in one of the CRAZIEST hockey towns. He was completely mobbed when the team arrived at the hotel and when they arrived at the Ricoh Coliseum(where the AHL team, Toronto Marlies play)for the morning. Sid's comments about the media frenzy: "Obviously coming to Canada theres more attention then normal but its all right-It doesn't get old.Its just like coming to the rink every morning, tying your skates, come in here and do this(talk to reporters).Thats just the way it is.I've accepted that."
