Sidney Crosby Doing Sidney Crosby Things

It's the All-Star break in the NHL, also what was to be the break for guys to go play in the Olympics, until it was decided they wouldn't go, because of COVID and losing too many league games. Big disappointment. 

But still gives us time for some Sidney Crosby of my Pittsburgh Penguins.

The guy is amazing. Literally almost every game he does something you just don't see almost anywhere else. Some recent examples:

An amazing assist:

SIDNEY. CROSBY.

Crosby almost makes an amazing one-handed deflection for a goal in overtime, then unfortunately completely runs over the goalie Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets. Unfortunately. No penalty (there were only 11 seconds left in OT anyway) but Crosby did at least ask if Buycky was OK. Oh yeah, Crosby then went on to score the only goal in the shootout series, winning the game for the Penguins.

Alors a qui la faute Dubois ? Où Crosby?

Je vous laisse la main.

Jumps up out of the way while blocking the goaltender for an Evgeni Malkin goal:

I already mentioned Crosby's banked empty net goal, completing a hat trick for the night:

Um, did Sidney Crosby just score a hat trick... by accident? pic.twitter.com/74v5COsRBW
