Sidney Crosby is having himself a phenomenal season at the helm of the Steel City. Despite them being out of the playoffs, you can count on Crosby to live up to an interesting statistic.

Penguins top 4 trade chips for the off-season«It's extremely impressive,» right winger Bryan Rust said. «To have that type of consistent impact over that many years in this league is extremely rare and extremely special, obviously. He's in the company of only one other person, who's considered to be the best player of all time, so it's pretty cool that that's even a possibility.»
Lars Eller shared his thoughts as well.
«To be competitive and on top of your game for so long a lot of guys have skill and can keep it up for a few years, but to do it for so long, you have to have a certain inner drive that fuels you,» Penguins center Lars Eller said. «His hunger for always wanting to be the best is probably what stands out the most.»
Crosby has been instrumental to the success in Pittsburgh, he has the potential to go down as the greatest Pittsburgh Penguin to ever live.
