Sidney Crosby Practice Montage

Sidney Crosby practicing skills with Pittsburgh Penguins. I do not own the right to these clips.

[@PavelBarber]

Is it wrong that I love watching practice footage more than game footage?

[@bjobsn]

BARBER! funny seeing you here. Lol & to answer your question, no I am in the same boat haha. It displays a lot more skill than you can see in a game. Really makes players shine.

[@iqofatomatoplant]

It is a little bit wrong. But that's none of my business.

[@munashetowindo]

So much more to learn from practice footage than game footage, love it Pavel Barber

[@nouh3053]

Pavel Barber Hey pavs

[@Madmartigan6]

Pavel Barber The guy is so good people even want to watch him practice.

[@CarolineVesper]

the fact that the video has no sound, except for the skates on the ice, makes it even more poetic

[@uomoitaliano8]

all i can say is that you know you have major talent when there are actual highlight clips of your practice lolol i love it

[@yoniyampolsky2597]

his all around talent is scary. speed/hands/vision is top 5 in all categories

[@WhDatBoiG]

jordan of the hockey world. elevates the play of his teammates, makes those on his line better, plays offense, defense, fast paced, hard forecheck, knockdown drag out....all around great player

[@naught_]

Yoni Yampolsky Speed is like top 25 or so tbh. He's not even the fastest on his team

[@WhDatBoiG]

HappyPants he's not the slowest on the team by a long shot

[@royceviklund6522]

DopWopBoppyNop doesn’t need to be fastest with his vision and ability to protect the puck

[@boygirlandadad5814]

@@Macker2613 it really was a dumb thing to say. I played Jr hockey at the highest level and we beat more Canadian teams than we lost to. Maybe it's just Americans have more employment options than farming or hockey? I will say this tho, Sid is an incredible player it's just too bad about all that crybaby stuff he does.

[@deelo2281]

At 00:35 I thought he was fumbling around with the puck but realized he was flipping it to himself and knocking it down... wow

[@gastondeveaux3783]

This shows us why he's been so great for so long. He never stops working.

[@AreaMan1983]

I like the way he skates on the ice surface and the way he moves the puck in the air using his hockey stick to shoot it into a hockey net.

[@TheRsmith0118]

87 Unlikes? Clever but I'm not sure why there would be any on this video showing one of the best ever doing the little things that make him one of the best ever. That backhand is better than my forehand

[@zackyoung9608]

One of the best of all time 100%

He's from my home town.. And yes, he is the best!

Sid perfectly talanted.Hands,skating,vision.And he is big guy as well.No chance push him oug of his way.

[@11DNA11]

As much as i hate the Penguins for the bandwagon fans they have... Crosby still is the most talented player i've seen in a long long LONG time.

[@hockeydefense7015]

Crosby's got the best backhand in NHL

[@tombrown5280]

easily

[@codypendency9482]

him malkin and kane are legends at it lol

[@vertexforger]

2:39 look at the goalie just flicking his arm up and saving the easy shot. Looks so cool, he's doing it so casually. I know it's a very easy shot but still, you can see that the reflexes are there.

[@Flapswitch13]

This kid is simply amazing to watch play. Just like Pavel Bure back in the day

[@visartist]

sidney crosby is IMO the greatest technical hockey player ever - every single aspect of the game in terms of skill set (edgework, stckhandling, shooting, dekeing, eye/hand co-ord., protecting the puck, one hand on the stick) he has worked so hard at; and through talent and hard work has honed those skills to an unprecedented level. backhand at 4:13 - wow. i cannot think of one single player in the history of the game who embodies it all like crosby. gretky - brilliant mind, eye for the game. lemieux - 6'6" beast with great hands, neidermeir - stride, howe - strength and toughness, richard - heart and determination. orr - athleticiism but not one had it all like crosby. thought? comments? input?

[@darkwell1581]

Only Orr skates like Orr

[@timetowakeup6302]

Jagr is my favorite. Sid is incredible

[@jonthejansson8197]

I remember watching this like 6 years ago

[@keldonlemon]

"OH NY GAHHD SID!"

[@richardspikman7116]

If I could play like that for only 1 day. Only 1 day in front of my family, friends, and most of all, my enemies.

[@humanexe5451]

It doesn't matter what we see here. He always got one extra level.

[@StefanG5]

I love watching anybody who does stuff like this

[@travelingcam8239]

one of the most talented ever,Canadian Skill

[@MisterMister5893]

It would be an honour to be scored by Sid. His shot especialy that close to the net is deadly and perfection.

[@TheOrdinaryAccountant]

damn if only I had free ice time like him when I was younger.

[@codypendency9482]

he didn't he had a room in his house and ended up destroying his mom's dryer from missing the net

[@thebillis8327]

Edson Midget Bruins he shot into the drier because he never had a net

[@codypendency9482]

lava bucket no I remember in a interview he said everyone heard him wrong lol

[@klarisdavis5486]

He had a net and sometimes missed it, so it destroyed the dryer. There's a commercial with Crosby vs. Talbot shooting where his mum and dad explain it.

[@bryanlarocque15]

He found a pond somewhere in his backyard. That’s the way it was in Canadian winters

It's at 4:03 good call

[@pkl1302]

He also did a goal just like this one in an actual game (while he was falling!!!) I hope he stay healthy....Sid is an artist

[@occamsox5331]

He’s probably thinking “How did he stop that?” every time he coasts in and flips a puck on net.

[@toxicmanX]

Well I'm from pittsburgh and I love the penguins so I think crosby is the best.

[@shirleyjardine5316]

I would watch Sid do anything in hockey, but thought now he should be relaxing, but I know he’ll do his best for next season, just hope he gets equal help for him, some of that team is not equal or even close😊😊

[@sikesy7]

It’s amazing his size and speed

[@rg6093]

that backhand tho!😍

As a Bruins fan we hated the pens because they took our uniforms but we realize Sid can almost play with Bobby.

Never been a fan of Crosby but man, you can't help but respect the TALENT and skill this kid possess. Wow.

[@willkavanaugh]

I FUCKING LOVE THE SOUND OF THE BLADE RIPPING INTO THAT ICE!!! FUCK!!

[@BloggerMusicMan]

One of if not the best two way players in hockey, ultra skilled as a stickhandler, sportsmanlike, fun to watch. I love Datsyuk, and would definitely put him in my top five forwards in the world (Ovechkin, Crosby, Stamkos, Datsyuk, Malkin). I'll give that Datsyuk outclasses Crosby as a defensive player (constantly the most takeaways in the NHL), and as a stickhandler, but he doesn't have Crosby's vision, shot, passing ability, explosiveness, or puck control.

[@timetowakeup6302]

Sportsmanlike? 😂😂

[@alexgammino]

Sid the Kid, no one is better than him! Go Pens!

[@kellanmoore2447]

hey Sidney I have ben watching you and I was amazed at what you can do and me and my friend really like you

[@good2goskee]

There are great players in every era Lafleur, Bossy in long gone years.... None have dominated like Gretzky. Hockey minds living through many eras agree. Sid is a super star player. I have watched hockey for 4 decades to compare. He is a dominate player but he not a history changer with his hockey greatness like 99. (or 66)

[@SpartanCL1989]

Gretzky was the best ever, but if you look at the goalie stats at that time, they have never been weaker then in the early 80s. You put Crosby in that era in the shape he is in and he would be close to every record.

[@kambozs]

Thanks for winning it again Crosby.

The backhand that knocks the water bottle off is unreal. Where was the space ?

[@uomoitaliano8]

can we seriously stop comparing players from different eras .... i mean the way i see it ... different style different time different game but all these players were legends for the teams ( gretz, lemieux, sid, lafleur,roy) lets just appeciate what each of these legends did for their teams during their era! and just have fun marveling at the highlights we have on youtube

[@dundeedolphin]

[@iamdandean]

Greatest ever. Gretz wouldn't be considered in today's game.

[@naught_]

Yes he would.

[@snowfreak551]

Watch a vid of the old time goalies performance then comeback and say that again... No chance for those old time players in today's game...

[@naught_]

Da Choppah Stop talking about the gear. The gear doesnt matter nearly as much as youre making it out to, the style of play of the era is what sets them apart. Within a given generation every player has similar equipment. Even though nowadays everyone in the league has amazing top of the line gear, Crosby still dominates just like Gretzky did in his time. If you took Ken Dryden in his prime gave him brand new pads and threw him in a 2016 NHL game he would look like swiss cheese until he learned how to play butterfly. Likewise if you took Lundqvist and gave him tiny pads he would let up everything until he learned to play stand up style And not sure what your trying to prove by listing Kane's height and weight when Gretzkys height/weight was very similar, and the NHL average height/weight has been increasing ever since the leagues been around. Players like Kane Crosby and Gretzky put up points, theyre not supposed to be gladiators.

[@Yessyessyessornoo]

+Da Choppah When Gretzky played the NZ trap wasn't a thing and scoring was at an all time high.

[@codypendency9482]

Gretzky didn't play today and he dominated in his time so yeah

[@PULLEY08]

W O W!!!!!!!!!!!

[@good2goskee]

Yip, different game!. Not near the clutching/grabbing, goon intimidation, and red lines which made it harder to create a scoring play as seen G's era. Crosby doesn't have to deal with these today which made it tougher to score. Many suggest the goalies ALL sucked in 99's era=BS. Although some of the goal tending may not have been as good, there were very solid/great G: Roy, Barrasso, Richter, Smith, Vanbeezbrook and others. So,one said if Sid keeps up his pace, he'll hit 1400 pts when he's at the late stages of his career. Honestly that is pretty amazing-really! But, to put this into perspective, if Sid does this, he will have achieved HALF the points of Gretz who achieved 2800plus points. Sid is definately NOT in the same category as 99.He is great (like Sakic or Stevie Y), but not super great like 99 or 66.

[@Maddolis]

How many videos are you going to go round talking this shit on?
