What more can you say about this two-way beast, a man of intense character and integrity who gives back to his community while being the consummate team player and re-directing criticism to himself.
Sidney Crosby is not simply a hockey player, he's a template for generations to come that yes, you can be a near-Selke finalist and still contribute, that hockey players are not perhaps as bland as we'd make them out to be and that playing hockey the right way will always matter more than any individual point totals or awards.
Sid, thank you for gracing us with your immeasurable skill and attention to detail, you're one of the best.
