In an otherwise limited Wednesday night slate, Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid each scored absolute beauties against their respective opponents. The elder of the two diced up the reigning champion Colorado Avalanche and scored a vintage backhand, top-shelf tally.
Pure nostalgia.
Meanwhile, Connor McDavid took the Desert Dogs for a walk and bonked the puck off of G Connor Ingram's melon and scored from below the goal line.
Absolutely disgusting.
In the NHLPA's players poll, 30% of NHL players voted Sidney Crosby as the most complete player in the league. Which raises a curious but age-old question:
