Sid the Kid, loosen up?

so, not only does he have to score goals to make you happy, but he has to know have a more exuberant personality to appease you?

maybe its something called professionalism. when hes asked a question, he thinks about it and answers it. its not like hes joking around with buddies. im sure he does have a great personality, but he doesnt have top buddy up to every reporter who asks him a question, and he always cuts right to the point, which i like anyways.

great question man.

Ovi is terrible. he is just an arrogant show off and every team has learn just put a body on him and he can't do crap. Crosby doesn't like the spotlight, that's why he is smart by lining with mariou lemiuex unlike ovi making a dvd about himself? How pathetic. No one should strive to be like him

I totally agree. He is just very boring in the media and I would like to see him go in a chris pronger direction or a jeremy roenick direction. He doesn't have to stir stuff up I guess but it wouldn't hurt for him to be a little bit more outspoken rather than just sit in his shell and say everything so blandly. This is purely for my pleasure though and I understand why he wouldn't do it. Sid is extremely popular and there is no reason to be outspoken in the media, it can really only hurt crosby to be outspoken.

i'm a huge sid fan so i've seen videos of him interacting outside of interviews and he's actually really funny. i think the people saying that he doesn't have a personality are completely wrong. he just tries to come off as very level-headed and very politically correct in interviews which causes him to sound a little boring, but he definitely has a funny side. as far as him changing his demeanor, i don't think he should. it's fine and it works for him. he makes it more about the hockey than about anything else and you gotta respect that.

Any time you devote yourself to something completely you become tense. You wanna know why doctors, engineers, lawyers, scientists, CEOs etc... have no personality? It is because they devote their lives to getting to where they are, and if they want to stay on top, they have to continue that trend. It is difficult to find time to watch tv and be relevant with the current events when you are working all the time.

Why can't Sid "loosen up"? Because he is on top of his game right now, the more time he devotes to it, the more rewards are demonstrated by his on ice play. You want success in life, you have to make sacrifices, simple as that.

Ovechkin is a punk.... Sidney Crosby is a humble man. He doesn't need to be loud and talk trash. He just takes care of his business on the ice.

As long as he puts the puck in the net, I couldn't give two sh!ts about his personality during interviews.

Ever think maybe he's just tired from kicking *** game after game?

How's that working for "Ovi?"

Sid is who he is..........why the hell should he put on some fake persona to appease anyone? He shouldn't be himself.....even if it is "deadpan" or "monotone?"

Jonathan Toews is a similar personality....seems to work for him as well.

Just my opinion.

You're right Bob, the only reason Ovi is struggling right now is because he has a personality.
