The Pittsburgh Penguins are clawing their way back into the Stanley Cup playoff picture, and people are starting to take notice!

Leading the charge is the legendary Sidney Crosby, who's put the team on his back down the stretch. The recent heater has created a narrative that he should be in the Hart Trophy conversation, which goes to the NHL's most valuable player.

The Hart Trophy isn't just about stats � it's about the player "adjudged to be the most valuable to his team." Sure, Crosby's offensive numbers are astounding � 40 goals and 85 points in 77 games � but it's his all-around game that sets him apart.




He's dominated the faceoff dot taking 1,765 draws and winning nearly 59% of them. There's also the fact he's basically the reason for the Pens being in a playoff spot entering Sunday's games.



Sure, there are other
Superstars, like Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, and Artemi Panarin. Yet Crosby's impact goes beyond the numbers.
He's doing it all at age 36, defying Father Time with every shift. Yet age aside, Crosby's focus is clear: he'd trade any individual accolade for another shot at the Stanley Cup.

So, while he might be a longshot for the Hart Trophy, there's no denying Crosby's invaluable contribution to the Penguins this season. And that, my friends, is what true leadership looks like on and off the ice.
