In 26 games, Crosby pacing the Penguins in goals (15), assists (20), and points (35) and is among the top names in the NHL in terms of production.
Sure, Crosby’s numbers aren’t league leading, but they are pretty close; you also have to take his age into consideration.
Among the NHL’s top 10 point scorers right now, Crosby and Erik Karlsson are the only two players over the age of 30.
Crosby is always looking to improve his game and keep up with the league around him, and head coach Mike Sullivan has noticed.
“I think he’s just a wiser version of himself,” Sullivan said. “He’s such a student of the game. Not only of his own game, but the game in general. He’s always looking for areas to get better and improve.”
Despite the impressive numbers and doing everything he can to help the team win, Crosby’s season has been flying under the radar it seems.
Crosby is on pace for a nearly 50-goal season, and that was highlighted by a two-goal game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
It was Crosby’s 90th multi-goal game in his career and sparked a conversation surrounding his talents.
“He can score in so many different ways,” Sullivan said. “He’s got a great one-timer, he’s really good at his backhand, and he’s creative.”
Crosby had to find creative ways to score against the Blue Jackets, but that’s nothing new for him.
Finding a way in double coverage, Crosby just has a knack for making it look easy.
“Sometimes we just shake our head with his creativity and how he thinks the game,” Sullivan said. “It probably gets overlooked because he’s such a good passer and every other aspect of his game is so good.”
Crosby has been one of the best talents in the NHL ever since his debut almost two decades ago.
A lot of that can be attributed to his undying drive to be a better player and to win hockey games.
“His game is ever-evolving,” Sullivan said. “There’s always elements to his game that he adds.”
He’s getting older, but his skill isn’t taking step backs; if anything, Crosby continues to be the best and most important player on the Penguins roster.Home Books Mary Flora Bell - The Horrific True Story Behind an Innocent Girl...
Most Americans are familiar with the legend of the Bell witch, a tale that has spawned numerous books and movies. It centers around the haunting, and alleged murder, of the patriarch of a real family named Bell who resided in Tennessee in the 1800s.
Supposedly, the vengeful spirit of a former neighbor, the witch, creates turmoil and wreaks havoc on the family in such a terrifying manner that it affected them the rest of their lives, and 200 years later, the story is still being told.
One hundred and fifty years after the Bell family haunting, and an ocean away, a child with the last name Bell was making headlines. Her crimes would also effect the families of her victims for the rest of their lives. 
Whereas the Bell witch was supposed to have the ability to shapeshift, it would be the English government that aided Mary to shapeshift and become invisible. Mary would be granted anonymity, as would the daughter she had years later; a controversial ruling. Although victims’ families understood the need to protect her daughter, it was Mary’s anonymity at the center of the debate.
Imagine, if you will, the horrific thought that a family member had been murdered, and you are notified that the killer will soon be released, but neither you nor anyone in the public will be privy to where they will be living after their release. Now, compound that thought by adding the fact that the convicted killer will also be given a new name and identity, which authorities refuse to reveal to you. How safe would you feel? When you stepped outdoors to check the mail, would you find yourself checking over your shoulder?
As happens so often, the grief and anger the victims’ families felt did not resolve after Mary was locked away, nor did the terms of her release heal any wounds. If anything, knowing that she was going about her own daily life unnoticed and unidentified made the families of both her victims feel bitter; as though they themselves were prisoners. Mary was free to work and raise her daughter out of the glare of the media spotlight, but the families did not have this same luxury.
 In 1968, it was a crime which was quite unheard of, especially in her small corner of the world; Newcastle on Tyne, England.
When the young girl was called upon to speak at her murder trial, spectators were unable to fathom how such an innocent looking child could speak about cold-blooded murder with a completely flat voice devoid of sorrow or remorse.
The passage of five decades has not made this story any less incredible. It is a tale of sadness and brutality, as well as one of redemption. Mary Bell was a child damaged by the abuse she suffered at home and damaged by the lack of love and nurturing every child needs to grow and become a well-adjusted individual. Mary had been hurt so utterly deeply, that it seems pain was the only thing she had to give others.
The objective of this book is not to excuse any of Mary’s actions. Even most small children understand right from wrong, but in Mary’s case, it is difficult at times to discern whether she understood right from wrong and simply chose to do wrong, or if she was truly incapable of understanding the difference.
By studying Mary’s psycho-social background, crimes, and the punishment she received, we can possibly gain a better insight into what went wrong, if the punishment was sufficient to meet the crimes, and if the punishment appears to have been effective.
“I had a compulsion to do it.” This unapologetic reasoning was given by Ed Gein, aka, the Butcher of Plainfield, when confronted with evidence of the monstrous acts he had committed in 1968. The diminutive murderer with watery eyes was described as “childlike” by several people from his hometown in Wisconsin.
The real-life inspiration for movies such as Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was so trusted by townsfolk, he served as a babysitter to their children. Gein was convicted of some of the most heinous acts a person can commit against another. The butchering of women and corpses to make household items and a skin suit he would wear, while living out his fantasy of being a woman himself, are stomach churning.
In the penal system, the crime fellow prisoners find reprehensible and unforgivable are those committed against children. We have all heard the stories of child killers and pedophiles being confronted by other inmates — a prison version of justice for daring to harm a child. As far as anyone knows, Ed Gein kept his murderous activities to just grown women and never harmed a child. Ironically, in that same year of 1968, an ocean away, there were children being killed.
The town of Newcastle, upon Tyne in England, was being rocked by its own problem: a terrifying, faceless monster preying on innocent children. The killer was dubbed the, “Tyneside Strangler.” A cold and calculated killer, who told authorities, she had committed the crimes because she wanted to. Curiosity, they say, killed the cat. It also led to the killing of children.
Perhaps the most chilling part of this story, aside from the facts themselves, is the actual killer. Not only was the perpetrator a female, but this murderer of children was herself a child.
Coined a “bad seed” by the press, and psychopath” by court psychiatrists, Mary Flora Bell killed for the first time May 25, 1968; one day shy of her eleventh birthday. How could a child of eleven be judged by a jury of her peers? The short answer is; she couldn’t. Mary, and her friend, co-defendant, thirteen-year-old Norma Bell, no relation, were judged as adults, by adults.
The jury was not privy to all the facts when reaching a decision of Mary’s guilt or innocence. They wouldn’t hear the stories of mental, physical, or sexual abuse, Mary had been subjected to. Those stories would trickle out later, and while not an excuse for committing the atrocities she was found guilty of; they do give some insight as to what made her do such horrible deeds.
From early on,
