The New Public Enemy No. 1 -- Sidney Crosby
By The Puckmaster

There's a big, fat bullseye on the forehead of Sidney Crosby.

The youngest captain to capture the Stanley Cup since Wayne Gretzky, Pittsburgh's Boy Wonder better watch his back.

Let's put it this way -- it's nice to win Lord Stanley's Cup. But now every two-bit cheap shot artist has one thing on his mind -- to bring down the now
mighty reigning Sid the King.

Call it the Tom Brady effect. Propped up by the media, enhanced by on-field performance, and reinforced by winning a championship, Sidney Crosby is the
one to bring down in the NHL. Everyone is gunning for him. Watch those knees, Sid. Wear extra padding. Bulk up in the weight room. And please, put away
the Kleenex. No one likes a sulking cry baby who's won the Cup.

With your championship under your belt, you now need to become a man. Look into buying some homes in Pittsburgh. Buy a car or two. Get married. Have
kids. Settle down. Learn how to shave. You just graduated from Kid to Man.

Enjoy your finest moment. But remember the folks in Washington, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere have one thing on their minds right now -- to make you as
small as your Nova Scotia hometown.

Good luck, Sid. You'll need it. Maybe Gino knows mafia-types back in his native Russia who can protect you.
