Crosby Kicks Off Celebration with a Helicoptor Ride!!

This is turning out to be some Cup / birthday bash and it's only just beginning!!!

In the picture to the right, Sid is getting off a Sea King helicoptor to hundreds of fans waiting for his arrival at the wharf in Halifax harbor! How cool is that?!!!!

“This is something that I felt was important,” he said. “There’s a lot of troops that aren’t here right now who are overseas ... but for the ones who are here I thought they would really get a kick out of it.”

“That’s what we get a kick out of us players is the sharing with everyone,” said Crosby, who is also making a private visit to a children’s hospital in Halifax.

I'll post more as I find it throughout the day today, so check back often!!!!!

I found that NHL.com is along for the ride with Sid and are posting a "real-time" blog at NHL.com -- CLICK HERE to see it. And it seems as though Talbot is also along for this Crosby bash (holding on to the Prince of Wales trophy)!! I'm wondering how many other Penguin players will be in attendance for this.
