Crosby, no matter what anyone says, is the best hockey player of our time. He is the Wayne Gretzky of our generation. I am not a Pens fan by all means but when you see all Crosby has done. It blows my mind. Yes he had his diving and crying days and i hated him until i have watched some of his documentaries and him playing now and he is astonishing and you can't deny that.
Crosby's been my favourite player since Pittsburgh lost to Detroit in the finals only to win the cup the next year against them. After his concussion he definitely played different but I never lost faith in his leadership. My friends a huge Chicago fan so hearing him bash my hero while he celebrates cup after cup after cup wasn't nice... I started believing him when he said Crosby would never win it again but Sid pulled through confidently. I was so happy when Penguins won that I think my Blackhawks bud expected the same rub it in your face attitude he gave me for years but I didn't and I dont think I ever will. Truth is, I'm just so proud of you Sidney for proving all those haters and doubter's that you could win the Stanley Cup again. In my opinion, you'll always be the greatest of all time Crosby!
Sidney Crosby has an amazing story i love his work ethic. I am very impressed by his support and strengths he shares with his team members. He went out there to make a difference and he does it every time he steps on the ice. Can't wait to watch you this season. Yes i have his jersey.
Crosby is tremendous, no doubt. A true talent. People who don't know much about hockey don't know that often the toughest players are those who control the puck the most. They are the ones who take the most hits, slashes, checks, spears, cat-calling, pressure, etc. Yet Crosby does what few others can, which is make others around him better. Ovi can't do that. He is a singular talent, like Gilbert Perrault, or Alex Mogilny, or Brett Hull. Crosby, like Lemieux, Orr, Gretzky, Larionov, Datsuyk, Yzerman, Sakic, et al, not only elevate their line-mates, but entire teams. And truth be told, as a business insider, alot of contemporary hockey players can owe some of their contract inflation to Crosby. He elevates the attention to the league into American/international media, is the biggest ticket draw in the league, and makes money for everybody involved, including his opponents. He raises the bar. His nay-sayers are just haters. Like him or hate him, he makes the NHL more attractive and a richer league and game to watch.
My hockey coach told everyone to watch this, it was amazing all the posistive points in this video and that there is almost no negative point. Anyone who disliked this video doesnt understand the real meaning of a gentleman. Also that the best hockey player in the world is a better man in the real world than on the ice.
I remember my father and I in tears after that shot couldn't beat Osgood....but there's no question about it Sidney Crosby is the epitome of "You learn more from losing than you do winning." He grew up he changed his game and he's on the mount Rushmore of hockey hands down.
I think of Crosby as my 3rd role model. My mom and my dad are first. And Sidney Crosby is the third. Words don’t express how much I love this guy and he doesn’t know me
