who else has as many videos on different aspects of the game like shooting, deflections, backhander, edge work, defensive awareness footwork, dangles passing and more just such a complete player
@Willie that's why he's going to take Gretzky's best player ever from him(i hope). And I say this as an avid oiler and Gretzky fan. it makes the game so fun to watch.
I absolutely love when you have clips that are not goals. Like he makes so many terrific plays that you won’t see because the guy didn’t finish the play, but it shouldn’t take away from his incredible timing. The way he knows the exact speed and pace to put on the puck while timing the players arrival is insane. And yes you’ll see a lot of Kunitz in here, but we all know Crosby made Kunitz worth something. But other than that this guy plays with a ton of different players and seems to create chemistry and like the guy said he makes the guys around him so much better. He never needs high end players on his line, he makes everyone look like a star and this was definitely one of the best videos to showcase that part of his game. Because how do you not score when he basically uses you as target to deflect the puck in the net!
sid coulda had many more 50 goal years, but he knew playing that kind of hockey wouldnt win championships. so he plays to make everyone around him better. amazing leader
Seeing him find angles and holes. Seeing him lift the puck over his opponents sticks. Seeing him put the puck, thru heavy traffic, directly on the stock of his teammates, in the most odds-defying circumstances, time and again. It's incredible.
That trade was a win for the pens got Guerin and kunitz. Especially kunitz he's very good with Crosby not many players wouldn't be good with Crosby Kuntz stuck around cause he was smart and unselfish in his own right perfect player to put next to Crosby very underrated.
Crosby is the hardest working person in all of sports history, no one has ever had his level of dedication to a sport. This is why he's the best, he wasn't gifted with God given skill, he had to earn it. Anyone in sports should look up to him, the amount of practice he has done and still does even in the back half of his career in unrivaled.
i mean, hes not the most skilled, no, but his hockey IQ was pretty god given. its not like he was born with 0 natural talent for the game. its just in his head.
I hope everyone watching this video appreciates how a large majority of these are passes no one else in the (history of the) league could make. Christ's skills set is unmatched in any era. It's funny reading the comments and seeing how limited some people are in their ability to analyze game play, that they must rely on regressive and 2dimensional measures like looking merely at points. Y'all are funny. There are many mathematical realities that invalidate a points-centric assessment of a player, lol. There is a reason why WAYNE GRETZKY IS A CROSBY FANBOY. He's the best, bar none. Put five Crosbys on the ice against 5 any combo of guys past or present, and I'd wager hardly anyone else even touches the puck.
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you could have made this 3 or 4 hours long if you wanted to. I watched Sid play when he played for Dartmouth and Rimouski. I remember one night, we counted how many assists he could have had if his teammate scored and we counted 15 different times he set up guys. He ended the night with 3 points I think but he could have had so many more. It was like that every night and even in the NHL. Great video again! :)
I watched him get 4 goals and 4 assist one game if I remember correctly, man did I hate him at the time but he was still a kid (teenager) and he matured in to one of the best all round players ever
The way he sees the game is like no other. He could easily score more goals if he wanted to but he's always looking out for his team. He will go down in history as one of the bests to ever play the game. Especially in the modern league.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god. Just came to watch an old video to get me psyched for him in playoffs. Then saw there was a new one. Ahhhhhh don’t think there’s anyone on UA-cam I get more excited for a new video. Yours on Crosby are absolutely mind blowing I tell everyone about them. Oh my god. Here we go. Thank you.
After watching these masterpiece vids from laflamme I’m entirely convinced Sid is the greatest 3 vs 3 overtime player all time as well as being the greatest 200 foot player all time.
You have no idea how many kids you have influenced through the making of these videos. Seeing these little moves that he makes and being able to break down why/how he does them is an incredible tool for them.
Best player of the era and it’s not debatable, Sid makes everyone around him better and is always looking for an open seam to insert himself, he also has a great sense for passing as he seems to know where everyone is even though he may not be able to see them. Sid is also a whole new species during the playoffs and I can’t wait to see what he does this year! Thanks xXlaflammeXx for uploading these it shows furthermore why sid is the best nhl player in this era
I don't know how you always find exactly the right music for these clips compilations, but wow, it really gives me chills (wish some of it didn't have explicit lyrics though; not this video but some others. I have a little hockey fan who loves these as well!)
I love how he receives the puck at 12:44 / 12:45. How's one way with his lower legs, and another with his body and torso to snag it from behind so he can throw off the other team. Given how often he's double and triple-teamed, it frees up so many avenues to his teammates in the aftermath.
I know it's the least of his feats on this reel, and unlike many other of his maneuvers, that other players can do it, but it just shows how CONSISTENTLY he plays every moment to its max potential.
I am Canadian and have played and been around hockey my entire life. It's Nov. 2020 and I still unequivocally believe that Sid in the best ALL AROUND hockey player in the world. And I love Connor and Nathan but Sid is still the best there is.
Crosby is such an awesome player. He’s not flashy, and he’s not extraordinarily good at a flashy move. But boy is he phenomenal at the fundamental plays of hockey and that’s what’s so great about him.
imo, if you wanna encapsulate Crosby’s impact- look at the elevation & chemistry of his line-mates & teammates when they’re on the ice with him. He literally helped Kunitz go from an average 2nd/3rd liner at best to an all-star & gold medalist. The very fact Canada chose Kunitz just because of his link up with Crosby is impressive & doesn’t get talked about enough. The list goes on: Dupuis, Guentzel, Rust, Sheary, Hornqvist, etc. most of these guys shouldn’t or wouldn’t have ever even been considered on the first 2 lines if it weren’t for Crosby.
Imagine how many points this guy would of had already if he had a true finisher the whole time and didn't miss two years of his career. Imagine him and Guentzel getting drafted the same year and playing a full career sibe by side, would've been so unfair.
guentzel isnt even good haha. penguins fans are so embarrassing. hes a 30-40 goal guy WITH crosby. youre acting like hes teemu selanne. hes a streaky, undersized winger. of all the players you wish crosby had more time with, its guentzel? embarrassing. how about, like, marian hossa? remember sid and hossa together? their numbers were pretty damn good.
@@chrisg7731 I don't agree at all. Guentzel set a rookie record in the playoffs, and then goes and has a 40 goal year. He's an elite finisher, always in the right spot at the right time and has a wicked release. He's small yes but he plays with a lot of heart, is very quick, and sees the ice extremely well. Sid has been playing for 12 years now, I've yet to see him play with winger of this caliber and I've watched pretty much every one of Sids games. Considering the struggles this team has gone through this year it's been Sid and Jake all year who dragged the team into the playoffs.
@@WilliamStewart1 because they snuck into the playoffs with them doesnt make them an elite pairing. guentzel isnt good. think back to this comment when guentzel is topped out in 3-4 years. he brings nothing besides that wrist shot and, yes, some heart, but heart cant overcome everything he doesnt bring to the table. it was just ok for a while since the pens were stacked. the pens are donezo now, and where is 59? crosby made a huge circle around the offensive zone last night, somehow maintaining possession through like 3 islanders before passing it across to guentzel who......... just fucking watched the puck because he wasnt ready. after his juicy contract extension, thats not acceptable anymore. long story short, hes a 5.5/10. trade him while his stock is high.
@@bartsimpson8022 yea, theyre a duo, eh? is that why they have a combined 0 pts this playoffs? if thats the pens best duo, well, the end of crosby and malkins pittsburgh careers are gunna be sad.
His IQ is insane, you don't see a lot of these highlight reel pass clips unless they are from sid, obviously tons of amazing players in the leauge with highlight reels but theres something about crosbys that stand out when you see them, its a unique play style that no one in the leauge has cracked the code for. This is not a blow to mcdavid or nate, they are the best in their own respects but crosby is just different man. No real comparison.
Many of these passes are made possible by the type of stick he uses. A little short and a relatively flat curve. Not many guys use this setup in the NHL today. Most have crazy angled blades and long shafts with too much flex. Goes to show you how effective a quick little backhand pass can be.
First of all: Fine piece of work, as expected from the great Laflamme. Second of all: I knew Kunitz was a great fit at Crosby‘s wing, but I never realized how good he was. If you compare him to Guentzel/Sheary, it almost seems like that he buries every pass Crosby gives to him. I am far from saying Sheary and especially Guentzel don‘t capitalize enough off of Crosby‘s passes, but man.. Kunitz sure knew how to play with an All-Time-Great like Sid.
i loved kunitz, but he left a lot of goals on the table that sid set him up for. dupuis, too, and guerin. i wasnt crazy about guerin, loved dupuis, but all three of them couldve had 50-60 goals if they had more touch and finish. only player ive ever seen finish on the same level that crosby set him up was hossa. too bad he left without playing a full season with sid. couldve been magical. i honestly see no way he doesnt score 60 playing with sid.
I don't agree with this at all. Kunitz is wayyy more of a product of a legendary player than Guentzel is. Guentzel is a damn great player in his own right.
If you think this is impressive then you should check out Mattews Magnificent he has some of the greatest passes we´ve ever seen in hockey like his assist of the century to Komarov from behind the net

I am a huge Crosby fan and I'll tell you that no, he's not. Top 5 maybe. Not top 1.
Connor Drew Crosby made mediocre players look like all stars, no one else can do that
Gabo Cameron u got him there
Nope!
The guy who had his jersey retired LEAGUE WIDE is the greatest ever...
@@connordrew2634 top 3
This is the “How I made Guentzel and Kunitz both multi millionaires” highlight tape
Spaceman Billy And now Crosby is going to make Jan Drozg next year
FACTS right their! Lol
i feel like that's what a good captain does.
Also James Neal
That trade was a win for the pens got Guerin and kunitz. Especially kunitz he's very good with Crosby not many players wouldn't be good with Crosby Kuntz stuck around cause he was smart and unselfish in his own right perfect player to put next to Crosby very underrated.
Best feeling when you see a new Laflamme video in your feed
Crosby is the most fundamentally skilled player of all time.
It’s not true though. Lemieux was on a different level
Crosby is the hardest working person in all of sports history, no one has ever had his level of dedication to a sport. This is why he's the best, he wasn't gifted with God given skill, he had to earn it.

I was shaking my head nearly the whole 13mins
Mouth agape
I hope everyone watching this video appreciates how a large majority of these are passes no one else in the (history of the) league could make. Christ's skills set is unmatched in any era. It's funny reading the comments and seeing how limited some people are in their ability to analyze game play, that they must rely on regressive and 2dimensional measures like looking merely at points.
Y'all are funny. There are many mathematical realities that invalidate a points-centric assessment of a player, lol.
There is a reason why WAYNE GRETZKY IS A CROSBY FANBOY. He's the best, bar none.
Put five Crosbys on the ice against 5 any combo of guys past or present, and I'd wager hardly anyone else even touches the puck.
Learn Stuff Yup only real ones recognize how good he is. It’s the armchairs that don’t know how to appreciate the 🐐 #sidneycrosby
Except for maybe Patrick Kane
I’d put 5 Crosby’s against 5 forsbergs or 5 Fedorovs.
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you could have made this 3 or 4 hours long if you wanted to. I watched Sid play when he played for Dartmouth and Rimouski.

Imagine not having these videos to watch. Thank you xXLaflammeXx!! you're a real one
I will now be sharing this video with every mouth breather who states "Ovi's scoring is more important because its mostly goals."
and body checks, don't forget about the checks.the only checks Crosby knows is the ones he signs!..repeat
aww how cute, you're copying the 12 year old girl from Stranger Things, and think you sound cool.
i've watched so many clips of Crosby
The way he sees the game is like no other. He could easily score more goals if he wanted to but he's always looking out for his team. He will go down in history as one of the bests to ever play the game. Especially in the modern league.

I love how he receives the puck at 12:44 / 12:45. How's one way with his lower legs, and another with his body and torso to snag it from behind so he can throw off the other team. Given how often he's double and triple-teamed, it frees up so many avenues to his teammates in the aftermath.

Go Penguins Go 2019 Cup !
Sidney Crosby Game sense? next vid idea
He already made it, it's called sixth Sense
Out here getting hyped for this season
Been waiting on this one from you, awesome

Pretty sure “what a pass by Crosby” is the most phrase ever said by any announcer.
Incredible work, thanks for posting!

The sauce on that backhand is siiiiiiiiiiiick!
Great compilation video AND I found a new artist to listen to!
Always a good day when you see a post here.
Lets go!!!!! I'm such a fan of these videos
He is so good
Best video I've ever seen plus the dubstep is insane
Made my day
Kunitz Crosby Dupuis line was so much fun to watch. Such a low key high caliber line
Best all round player in today's game. Maybe all time
You are awesome. Hi from Russia)
Probably the most dominant complete player ever
Great day for playoff hockey
He is still GOAT for sure
That first pass is all I needed to see.

Where do you find all the clips?
So many of these when they say the score it’s like “Penguins lead with multiple goals to the other teams zero “
The greats somehow always find the holes, what a stud
Nobody has better known the physics of the game.
Whooooah Nelly!!!!!!
I hear McDavids name brought up alot as best in the world...Obviously the people who say that hasn't watched this video.
the noise in the background ruins it
what’s the SONG? and btw we get it crosby is the best player in the world even tho i’m an ovechkin fan
Thats some SAUCE!!!!!!!!
His passes look like fake shots, and vice versa. Amazing to watch
Crosby is at the level of Gretzky, Lemieux, n Gordie Howe. Just different in his own way 👍
2:34 why is that roll not a meme somewhere?
Best Hockey IQ since # 99...
Crosby hasn’t had teammates like Kunitz or Dupuis in a long time
passing :
gretzky 97
lemieux 95
crosby 94
I get the feeling you’re a Crosby fan
couldnt watch 30 seconds of this. brutal soundtrack..
