How is NO ONE talking about this?

Last nights Penguins vs Sabres game got off to a slow start, with us not seeing the first goal until late into the 2nd. The highlight of the night for me though, was an incredible keep in of the puck by Sidney Crosby as the Sabres tried to clear it out of their zone. Surprise surprise, you make this kind of effort and it leads to goals. I cover this, Jeff Skinners nasty cross check to Jake Guentzel's face and everything in between in today NHL hockey video!

Skillful yet gritty. New school and old school coming together beautifully in this game.

This is why Sid is top 5 all time. Not as purely talented as Lemieux, but a harder worker. Not as smooth a genius with assists as Gretzky, but possessing an equal all ice awareness. Not as great a skater as Coffee, Perrault or Macdavid, but his edge work is phenomenal. Not as good a stickhandler as Jagr, Bure, or Ovi, but his hip and lower leg strength and puck possession are incredible. And Crosby's will to win is second to nobody except maybe Rocket Richard's, which is why he has won everything that can be won.

[@michaelzilkowsky2936]

he will never score 50 goals a season for nine straight seasons nor will he amass 4 Cups in a row like MIKE BOSSY, the only player who matters. Oh, and a cross check to the face could have been dealt with a lot more sensibly by getting rid of the instigator rule and letting him do to the Pittsburgh player what Clark Gillies did to Ed Hospodar.
