It was announced today that Sidney Crosby was the leading vote getter among athletes in Time's most influential person of the year poll. He garnered 85, 835 votes for first among athletes and eighth over all amongst a list that included over 200 people.
Like him or not, that is an impressive feat considering some of the others on the poll were politicians and humanitarians. Yet this 19 year old kid found his way into eighth spot among them. This is exactly the kind of press the NHL wanted from this kid. Could he have turned out for them better? With luck this poll will help garner more attention to the NHL now.
Is this kid something or what?
