Canada’s players admit it: their motivation is Sidney Crosby

[content-ads]Sam Reinhart and Connor McDavid are very grateful to be able to share the ice with the legendary #87 to represent their country.

“For our generation, to see him still here, being the captain and having such a big role, it’s special for everyone.”

Connor McDavid

Canada is very fortunate to be able to count on Crosby to lead the team to victory. He’s the face of Team Canada. Whether in junior, the NHL or internationally, Crosby has dominated and won at every level. His 1687 points in 1352 NHL games speak for themselves. He currently ranks 9th in history for points (36 points behind Mario Lemieux) despite having suffered several major injuries, and it’s easy to say that he’s one of the top-5 forwards of all time with everything he brings to the ice. It’s even arguable that he’s 3rd in history, behind Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky. In short, his impact is and always has been huge for everyone. So it’s only natural to see that Canada’s players are motivated and inspired by the captain. I can’t wait to see if Canada can bring another gold medal to the country and to Crosby. When the team can count on him, Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Cale Makar, Sam Reinhart, Brayden Point and more, we can only expect perfection. Can the U.S. surprise Canada? And let’s not forget Finland and Sweden, who certainly have a lot of talent in their line-ups [spacer title=’Overtime’] – From the great Lane Hutson.

– Interesting.

– It’s pretty intense.

– Unbelievable!
