This week saw the return of the best player in hockey after a concussion had put him out of the game since January 2011. Sidney Crosby is the best player in the NHL bar none and he has proven this with his dominance over the few years that he has been in the league. Even before Crosby made the NHL he was considered one of the best hockey players in the world breaking almost all of Wayne Gretzky’s minor league records.

Sports have always been an avenue for personal achievements no matter what league someone plays in. When a number of athletes are put together the best of them always wants to show that they are the best that ever played in the league. The fans also love to say that their favorite player was the best at what he did. This is the basis of statistics in pro sports as athletes are continually in pursuit of stats while still winning and fans love to see a statistical race.
