My Meet and Greet With Sidney Crosby in Winnipeg, MB

Friday night was a big night for me. Not only did I blow my car's alternator in the middle of route 90, which actually angers a lot of people, who glare as they pass instead of offering a helping hand, but I also had my picture taken with the fabulous Sidney Crosby. Sigh. I want to be clear though, this blog post has nothing to do with the young female obsession with Sid. I'm more of a LeTang girl myself. BUT I won't pass down a good photo opportunity with the heart throb of many. So I'll just paint this little picture for you:
My friend, Nikki, and I are on our way to my brother's birthday party and after the whole broken car/tow truck scenario, we were a couple hours late. I'm also not the person to show up at a party empty handed. So once we made it back in to Winnipeg from towing my car home (back to Stonewall), I made a point of hitting Safeway to grab some snacky type foods. So as I'm strolling through the Safeway bakery section in my hockey gear (as you can see in the picture, though the picture is not of me-we decided to go matchy that night), I bumped into a familiar face. Not familiar because we've met before, but familiar because I replayed his winning goal in the Winter Olympics multiple times while he pointed into the video camera....at me obviously. 
Anyways so there we were, getting our picture taken together. He didn't say much, he seemed a bit board (omg funny word pun, me).** However, the picture of myself and him went mysteriously missing after it was taken... I blame Nikki. It is quite possible she's not the sharing type.
I thought I would share that lovely photo opportunity with all who care to take a look. Although this particular photo is not of me, I sincerely believe that somewhere the photo of myself and Sidney Crosby remains as apparently nothing can really be deleted these days.
**DISCLAIMER** This may or may not be the real Sidney Crosby.
