Richer notes that when Crosby was in elementary school in Nova Scotia, he was delighted when he received autographed hockey cards and photographs from the Flyers. Crosby had written to the Flyers as part of a school project. He has done a remarkable job of embracing the responsibilities that go along with being the face of the league. He has a touch for the dramatic, as he proved when he scored the game-winning goal against the Sabres in the NHL Winter Classic on January 1 in Buffalo.
Maybe Flyers fans should try backing off their harassment of Crosby: it only makes him play better. Then again, maybe not. Please note that the views expressed in this column are not necessarily the views expressed by the Philadelphia Flyers Hockey Club.

His tendency to dive and draw penalties from the referees, his skill in the Pens sweater and of course that complaining that comes during and after a game which Flyers fans love to feed off of. It all started back on Nov. Derian Hatcher gave a big not-so-warm welcome to Crosby by knocking out two of his teeth with a stick to the mouth.
Another high-stick came later in the game and a young year-old Crosby displayed his complaints to the refs, which led to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
