The name of the hour in the hockey world is undoubtedly Sidney Crosby, who was probably Canada's best forward against Sweden.
With a three-point performance (3 assists), despite being hindered by an upper-body injury, he once again showed just how dominant he still is.
In short, what a night for Sidney Crosby!
During the post-game press conference, he confirmed an interesting piece of information involving the Montreal Canadiens.
Knowing that a trade no longer seems impossible for him, yes, it sparks dreams.
"I grew up a Montreal Canadiens fan and to have an ovation like that was pretty special."- Sidney Crosby
Yes, it really makes you want to believe..
One thing is certain, something special is happening right now between Sidney Crosby and the Bell Centre crowd.
It's magnificent to see.
Let's remember that Crosby is probably the only player in the entire National Hockey League, who doesn't play for the Montreal Canadiens, who is constantly cheered and given standing ovations at the Bell Centre (aside from Marc-André Fleury on a few occasions).
Personally, I have immense respect for Sidney Crosby, who once again showed this morning just how much of a true leader he is.
Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon were almost the only Canadian players to show up this morning for the OPTIONAL practice, despite the storm and despite their heavy workload last night.
They are the real deal!
