Sidney Crosby. Stanley Cup. Hometown parade. On his frickin' birthday.

We're guessing Bizarro Sid hails from Coal Harbor, plays for the Maple Leafs.

Last Friday was awesome in Halifax, and with the Pittsburgh Penguins captain on display of course it attracted plenty of attention. Sports media giant ESPN did coverage under the headline "Sid gives Cup one big homecoming," except as this screen grab shows, ESPN has the hockey phenom in Coal Harbor. What the? Bizarro Sidney might be from Coal Harbor, but the real Super Sid is a proud native of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. You've earned a trip to the penalty box for that, ESPN.
