2. When are we having the legitimate conversation that Crosby is the greatest player to ever do it?

3. 

4. Sid-tastic!

5. That was a blast. Sid at 37 was the best player on the ice

6. I don’t care about the math. There’s clutch.

7. Is there anyone else who just seems to be the one to do the one thing that wins the game, at the biggest moments

8. When Mario walked out you knew crosby was set to do something special

9. Also from a fans perspective is there anyone of his hall of fame career level make themselves pretty easy to be able to get an autograph or picture. Used to go watch them practice with my kids and sid stops i bet 7 out of 10 times to interact with the fans

10. Sid just has it. McDavid. MacKinnon both amazing players, flying around everywhere. For stretches McDavid looked so so good. But Sid gets it done. Every time it seems. There is something remarkable about that. I’m so grateful I’ve watched him during his whole career

11. We, Canada , are so very proud of our son, Sidney Crosby, yet once again!
    Is there such thing as clutch? Well DK, ask Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, and our own Sidney Crosby about that. Do they rise to the occasion; Mr November/only played in, I believe 2 mathematical games in his career that meant nothing/battling average better in post-season than regular, how many game winning shots in post-season/6-0 in Finals/never lost a Championship EVER, the golden goal/3-1 in Cup Finals/27-0 when the biggest stage in upon him while his country's team has changed immensely over his life, his winning does not waiver. Ya, there's clutch players my friend, you bet. Very few actually and our Pens have been blessed with perhaps one of the greatest. Blessings always DK, Victor again

12. Yes the penguins are struggling right now, but all that matters is we are blessed with the greatest hockey player of all time. Enjoy 87 while you still have a chance.

13. I was so excited for this tournament. To finally see Sid hit the ice with equal talent is what had me excited, to play with guys that are his equal or close, to play with the best of the best and see him manage the game as he always has. The crowd chanting his name almost brought me to tears, to hear that crowd show so much respect to one player was amazing and so very well deserved. Watching how Sid manipulates the game, drawing the players to him and than putting the puck on the stick of his teammate, and a teammate that can finish was also amazing. The Pittsburgh management should be paying attention, that means you Dubas, Sid still has it. You go get that guy some legit talent and see what happens. No disrespect to Rust or any other third liner you try to convince us is compatable with Sid, and in no way am I saying or expecting you go get a McKinnon or Stone, but go get someone. Even though he can drag a team along with him, how about getting someone that can help pull. Getting to watch Sid do his thing at the Four Nations just makes me think….what if this guy had bonified stars next to him his entire career, what if?

14. Mario and Sid on the ice together you know some special was about to happen.

15. So amazing to see Le Magnifique. He looks well.

16. It was so cool to see Sid and Nate play together.

17. i hate to root against team USA but Team Canada is stacked. That was incredible to watch last night. I enjoyed the All-Star game rosters but seeing these players together like this is just great fun. Saturday night's game is gonna be epic.

18. Someone to be proud of Sid ! Best part is he still got it and he's still here. Thank you DK

19. what was in the player of the game bag?!?

20. I'm American from Pittsburgh(living in South Korea since 2009), but our Captain is playing for Team Canada. The love I have for Crosby, and Lemieux, who was my boyhood idol and still my idol to this day. I can honestly say, even though I bleed Red, White, and Blue, I'm a Team Canada fan. What Crosby and Lemieux have done for the Penguins franchise transcends boundaries. I was rooting for the USA in the Olympic Final vs Canada in 2010. But when Crosby scored the goal, I was as happy as if the USA would have won.

21. Mcdavid passing to Crosby and then setting up the McKinnon goal put a smile on my face. Great hockey and seeing McKinnon and Crosby on the same team is one of the coolest things in professional sports

22. I didn't like how Cooper wasnt playing Crosby in overtime. Pretty sure that was his first shift with that assist to Marner for the game winner.

23. DK I have a friend from Baltimore (I know ew) who hasn’t really had much chance to watch live hockey in his life. He’s making the trip to Pittsburgh and we’re going to the caps vs pens game when the team comes back. He texted me immediately after the game last night and simply said “Sid really is the GOAT, isn’t he?” Even he gets it! Here’s hoping the rest of our team is ready to play to his standards when we resume the season, even for just one night.

24. In the 3v3 they were double shifting McKinnon and McDavid and not playing Sid as much. And I’m thinking put him on the ice if you wanna win the damn game already.

25. Canada 26 wins in a row when Sid’s in the lineup… Phenomenal…
