Celebrating Sidney on the coast

There won't be a need to call a meeting of Sidney Crosby fan club this weekend in Vancouver, it would seem that the charter members have been celebrating his conquest of Western Canada for most of the week.

While others try to find some drama to add to the most anticipated hockey tour in some time.

With Sid the Kid and the rest of the just past the boppin years Pens about to face off against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night, the Vancouver media has done its bit to make sure that all aspects of the Crosby tour have been covered.

Hopefully the actual game will match some of the pre game hype that has run rampant in Vancouver the last few days.
