Mr. October - 11-03-09

In terms of point production, Sidney Crosby had the worst October of his five-year career:

Season Games
Played		 Goals-
Assists-
Points 		Points-
Per-
Game
2009-10 14 9-7-16 1.14
2008-09 11 3-10-13 1.18
2007-08 11 5-12-17 1.55
2006-07 9 6-9-15 1.67
2005-06 11 2-12-14 1.27

While he did have the highest goal output for an October, it's clearly, it's time to dump him and his bloated salary.

Agreed. Franchise players are typically the most overrated players in sports. I mean, really, the Steelers would be better than 5-2 if they'd get Worthlessberger and his "sack me" sign (which is taped to the back of his jersey) off the field! And the Yankees!! Who on Earth really thinks having Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez in the same infield is a good idea?!?

We could use the roster spot for shoot out specialist. I hear Erik Christensen is on waivers.

Semin and Kostitsyn were right, this guy is a chump. Strip him of his captaincy ASAP. Might be able to make it as a fourth liner now that he can fight...

He's past his prime.  Its sad, really.  Should have been sent packing  last year when they had the chance.  Now he has very little trade value.  What a shame.

"The Watchman" was right all along.  Thanks Bob.
