Sidney Crosby may be the best player in the NHL. But is he any good?
↗ STRONGSIDE
Quite the little hockey player
Inducted into NHL Hall of Fame after third game
Unlike many star athletes, doesn’t have to worry about distraction of being recognized on the street
Once scored a goal that made the goalie’s Gatorade bottle fly off the top of the net
Is also Alexander Ovechkin
Uses skates to make shaved ice treats for kids in the stands
↙ WEAKSIDE
Insists referees turn off icing before every match
During face-offs, opposing players often steal his stick and jersey to sell at sports memorabilia auctions
Despite great hands and soft touch, lost a face-off in 2003
Never replaces his ice divots after slapshots
New Reebok Sidney Crosby skates not selling as well as most would have hoped
As is the case with star Pittsburgh athletes, is at high risk for contracting Hodgkin’s disease or dying in a plane crash while flying supplies to disaster victims
