It occurs to me today that the much ballyhooed Sidney Crosby (a.k.a. Cindy Crysby) of the Pittsburgh Penguins is The Great Gatsby of the hockey world.

I say that as both the hockey player and the book are much lauded as paragons of greatness by their respective establishments. And both the hockey player and the book seem to continually indulge in copious and petulant whining.

There is some justice in the world though:
1.) F. Scott Fitzgerald is dead.
2.) If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Penguins would be golfing.
