Crosby is an amazing athlete and he's still really young. I can't wait to see more of him
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard

Nice..!

I can hardly ever tell, but he seemed to be moving faster than everyone else on the ice...And he was surrounded by guys, like 3 of them, and he still got through them and scored...When can you 'check' people..? I can't see how some of the good guys stay on their feet, I'd have someone trying to smash them every play...

And I remember one time before I tried to get into hockey, I was following this guy named 'Eric Lindros', bought a bunch of his hockey cards too, and I think he washed out, so...

what makes him so good is his ability to do things at top speed. he catches guys flatfooted. so, you can't hit what you can't catch.

hell...anyone can hit him when he has the puck. but, his legs are like tree trunks, his balance is amazing and he skates low. that's a tough combination when you are trying to knock someone down on the ice.

just like in football...you wonder why barry sanders or tomlinson never get popped....same premise.

those goals where he takes on like three guys? that's just sick talent.

as for lindros....he's still playing...but, he's a shell of what he once was. too many concussions.

he never learned how to skate with his head up and took too many hits.

glad you liked the video.

Great videos of "Syd the kid" He's fun to watch. Glad the Pen's are staying in Pittsburgh. I'll be able to watch him for years.
