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
