This is my favorite aspect of Crosby’s game. The way he fends off defenders to protect the puck is just amazing, and it’s really what separates himself from everyone else in the league. Truly the goat.
@Night City Patrick Kane is also excellent in this regard but he does it in a different way than Crosby; relying on his stick handling and quickness. I think they are the top two best players in the league at slowing things down around them, creating time and space to make plays.
I'm not sure about GOAT but he's definitely top 10 of all time. What I find so unique about his play style is that he's part sniper, part grinder, part power forward... and he switches into those modes as the situation warrants, with ease. It's also kind if cool that he's in Gretzky's Office but only for a few seconds and only to get separation or to setup a shot. He's a phenom!
Got to admit I don't watch Hockey as much as I used to but one thing's for sure, Crosby IS STILL The GOAT! MMA fighters take months to go to war! Crosby has been doing it for 15 years, 82 games a season ( minus injuries )!
Wings fan here.. but I can definitely appreciate the amount of work that shows out each and every game he plays.. incredible edge work.. that and many aspects of his game is what separates him from the rest.. much respect.
That pretty much sums up the Mcdavid vs Crosby head to head thing for me. I saw that as it happened (live) and was just floored. I remember saying 'holy shit!' as he celebrated.
Golden Knights fan here. Watching Crosby's edgework which is a thing of beauty. And as someone who's always liked figure skating, it is not even a comparison when you look at the skills of Crosby, McDavid, and others who show such beauty on the ice. I love hockey, but the skating is what captures me.
I watched this song three years ago before a game and I’ve always looked up to Crosby because of this video and look where it’s got me playing exactly how he does with insane edges and absolutely beautiful backhand the one hand protection and the ankle breaking abilities. I’m watching this 3 years later now
YES!!!!! I don't think someone can be a true hockey fan unless they at least like and appreciate this guy. How can one claim to be a fan yet ignore or reject the most beautiful and skilled way it's every been played? There is a living legend on the ice. To fail to appreciate that is a disgrace.
Good work kid, about the only channel who actually appreciates, recognizes, and presents the work and overall skill/talent that Crosby has. You really show how good of a player he is. Keep up the work! You are spectacular and a phenomenal observer.
Anytime I need to set someone straight on how amazing Crosby is, I just tell them to watch your videos and suddenly they understand haha. Always jumping up for joy when I see a new post by you, by far the best Crosby videos you can find! That title is yours!
@@penguinhn or they just point to the fact that Ovi is the greatest goal scorer of the modern era , signed -Not a Caps Fan. BUT in fairness Sid is probably the greatest "Captain" and 200' player that the pens have had since Ronny Francis (Mario is, was, and always be the greatest hockey player that I have ever witnessed) but in the regular season 66 thought back checking was a waste of his time
The way I see it his puck control paired with protection and skating, he completely manipulates the game to the way he wants and is why he is so good at making anyone he plays with look good.
Setting aside the fact that I’m a die-hard Pens and Crosby fan, you did a great job on this video. Great transitions and balance of commentary audio and music.
Hugh Tahoob Sidney is way more powerful in lower body, has better edges, better IQ, better awareness and better at other stuff. Overall the best player
His body is like a Sherman Tank with the maneuvebility of spinning top. Unreal. And to hit 100 points last year on a weaker Pens team, hes still got it.
@@brad7648 Maybe, but I've seen Crosby do things that are pretty baseball-like, like slapping a puck out of mid-air, and I think with a little time he'd be pretty good
I'm hype for the next hockey season. I'm a new fan since my home team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, won back-to-back Stanley Cups. The first game of the season is on my birthday AND it's a home game AND it's against the Pittsburgh Penguins, so I'm going to get to watch my champion home team play against this guy. I'm stoked.
Best player in the world. Forget the incredible skill level. He's such a warrior out there, he works his ass off. I love our captain. What a blessing he's been. He's more than lived up to the hype. Top 5 player of ALL TIME. Hope he can lead us to another Cup. 4 would be great!
Lemieux, Orr, Howe, Gretzky, Beliveau, Richard, Bossy, Jagr, Messier, Ovechkin, Yzermann, Sakic, Forsberg- ( just some of the forwards) grab a shoe horn Sid belongs in the convo for sure but I don't where he slots
Our Captain, Who art in Pittsburgh, Crosby by thy name. Thy goals be scored, At home as it is away, Give us our assists, And forgive us our penalties, As we forgive those who penalty kill against us. Lead us into post-season, But deliver us from defeat, For thine is the ice, The edges, and the one-timer, For ever and ever, Hockey.
Sidney is the GOAT in my opinion. He can literally do everything. Shoot, pass, skate, stickhandle, hit. Still he is so humble and don't take anything for granted. A true Hall of famer.
McDavid might have speed, Ovechkin might have an amazing shot but nobody compares to Crosby in terms of all around skill imo. I also think he's the strongest skater in the NHL. If he goes down with the puck then you know he's gonna do something to make a play out of it. He's always been my favorite hockey player. People might call him a cry baby but with the amount of injuries he had throughout his career its amazing that he's still able to come back and play at the same level of skill he was at before.
I was watching that game on TV @ 0:44 when that happened was like "cmon McDavid Dafuq!!" Guessing he just got dazzled and he forgot he was supposed to be playing lmao
KillingWithaSmile613 are you stupid? Of course he’s not better then players that work on one thing everyday. I’m saying he’s the best if not one of the best at every attribute. And he’s shot is good reason why he has 400+ goals which is hard to get
@@KillingWithaSmile613 I think he's easily the best passer. He's thinking the game at a different level. He's not explosive as he used to be (he's not slow) and it barely matters because he's paired with faster wingers and his hockey iq is just off the charts
This is whatmakes him great. Not the goals nor the assist but the skating. 🤔🤔Without the skating skills he would just be another hockey player. Thanx for your👍👍 insight
When you can pick up your phone and see highlights of how to play the game, there has never been an easier time to mold a kid with talent and desire. And I don’t think it’s a hot take to consider 87 the best of all time. The skill level has never been higher. He’s a grittier, better skating version of 99.
@@SimplyJorgasmic He plays a different, much more advanced and much faster game with far less time and space. Their IQ is impossible to compare. There is no version of Gretzky - 1982, 87, 91, 94, or 97 - that would hold a candle to Sid in real life, in any era of hockey. Those are facts.
How did he come up with such great edge work and skill he makes it look so easy and just amazing skill . I wish my rink was still open so can go back to ice hockey but until lockdown over no rink would be open
Ovechkins highlights are the complete opposite of this... Alex is just blunt force trauma goal scoring power while Crosby has finesse and style both great but totally different approaches

I agree
100% agree...

Insane

Love 87!!! Great vid again buddy. Also that Kunitz goal, amazing moment. Enjoy retirement 14!!
He’s a gentleman too. Private, well spoken. Says a lot about a leader. 🙏🏻🇨🇦❤️

Kudos to his mom for being tough enough to handle giving birth to a baby who was clearly born with skates on.
bangyahead1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What? And no credit to his dad for carrying a sperm cell with skates on in his nutsack? That must have hurt like hell too lol
@@JEFFCLEVANDR yes it’s facts
Absolutely mesmerized by his edgework. His studder-step move is the nastiest in the game 🤤

Andreas 228 not even close. Not even in the running. You need to watch something you can keep up with, like knitting.
@@ilikefoodbud2912 no ...crosby will never be Mario
@@doggin6 no moron Orr was a legend with today's skates and sticks hed crush today's guys
I love Sid so much. Thank you for making all these. Can't wait for next season
P.S. 4:54 was a good goal
His body is like a Sherman Tank with the maneuvebility of spinning top. Unreal. And to hit 100 points last year on a weaker Pens team, hes still got it.
Thank you for doing these videos! It is awesome to see Sidney Crosby play and you give us plenty of opportunity to see him.
Crosby’s hand-eye coordination is insane. I bet he would be a hell of a hitter in baseball
Or just be another Micheal Jordan
@@brad7648 Maybe, but I've seen Crosby do things that are pretty baseball-like, like slapping a puck out of mid-air, and I think with a little time he'd be pretty good
@@mgreco712 You're right. I wouldn't be surprised if he played as kid growing up. He seems like the type that is good at any sport he would play.
@@mgreco712 He's hit them out of PNC taking BP before Bucs games.
You could re-upload a backhand video with some of the great goals hes had the last 2 seasons
Crosby is the best edge work ever . He can protect the puck so well

Great editing dude congrates on 8k
Your videos are amazing and thanks for giving credit to Sid because people worry about stats but no one ever recognizes the real skill that he has
An absolute masterpiece when wearing skates
What a god .. I could watch this all day and still be amazed at how incredible and complete he is !
Love ur vids man!!
I’m a big fan of sid too, nobody else like him and never will be.

Great as always my man 👍👍❤
i talk about your video to anyone i know who loves hockey. best ones around. keep it up
Best in the game today. Thx for posting!
This is a great video I have watched it 7 times already
You did it again, @xXLaflammeXx . The best hockey highlights vids in the 'verse. Thankee-sai.
lol but why did i quote Joss Whedon's Firefly and Stephen King's The Dark Tower tho?
Our Captain,
Who art in Pittsburgh,
Crosby by thy name.
Thy goals be scored,
At home as it is away,
Give us our assists,
And forgive us our penalties,
As we forgive those who penalty kill against us.
Lead us into post-season,
But deliver us from defeat,
For thine is the ice,
The edges, and the one-timer,
For ever and ever,
Hockey.
OMG i DIED.
Blasphemous
Beautiful 😂
Shoutout to his equipment manager for the skate sharpening.
Yeah, it's the skates...This guy could do this on 25 year old Tacks.
The Pens equipment manager sharpens Sids skates between every period. There's a UA-cam video about him.
Sidney is the GOAT in my opinion. He can literally do everything. Shoot, pass, skate, stickhandle, hit. Still he is so humble and don't take anything for granted. A true Hall of famer.
Love your vids. Keep it up, and please don’t stop!!!
I was checking every day for a new video :D
I never bothered much for Crosby since I first started playing hockey, but now I can see why this man is a god
McDavid might have speed, Ovechkin might have an amazing shot but nobody compares to Crosby in terms of all around skill imo. I also think he's the strongest skater in the NHL. If he goes down with the puck then you know he's gonna do something to make a play out of it. He's always been my favorite hockey player.

Waited 3 years for this video
Best channel on youtube. 87 is the GOAT
This is my favorite video on UA-cam
keep the good work with ur edit bro !
4:40 the ability to pin the puck on the boards and drag it across to get out of a defensive play to pin you on the boards is incredible
Great work as always
Gretzky the most dominant player of all time, but Sid is the best to ever play this game
Not even top 30 in the best to ever play the game. Howe? Hull? Ovechkin?
@@dmech06 wow, and your picture is the Penguins logo?
Austin Curry I’m not a homer.
Austin Curry Orr? Messier? Coffey? Sakic?
Dave lmao, I would love to hear your top 30
The way he is able to create open space is incredible
Thank you for an updated video!!!
I was watching that game on TV @ 0:44 when that happened was like "cmon McDavid Dafuq!!" Guessing he just got dazzled and he forgot he was supposed to be playing lmao
Love how McDavid just kinda stared in awe of that play
McDavid said after the game that it's rare that a player blows by him like Crosby did that game
Best at everything. And I Mean EVERYTHING
Faster than McDavid?
Shoots better than Ovechkin?
That's all I got. Back hand, edges hes number 1. Passing and vision hes up there.

Love thé vidéos! Watched everyone twice ! Keep it up
Do more Sid Vids always be waitin on them!
I’ve been waiting for an update of these videos
clicked as soon as possible
Crosby your the best in the world at hockey there are people who are think that your the best too
5drew
He honestly is the greatest all around player and doesn't get the credit he deserves defensively
What an over all AMAZING player
This is like soccer, not just the goals, but the play creator like Messi!!!
You do fantastic work Laflamme. Best Crosby videos on UA-cam. But WTF is this choice of a song that you used for this video?! 😳😳😳
Kaapo Kakko reminds me of this guy so much. They are so similar it's insane.
Not really, Kakko is good but nowhere near Sid.
This was really well edited, but the music was way too loud. In general, people don't like music in highlight videos.
This is whatmakes him great. Not the goals nor the assist but the skating. 🤔🤔Without the skating skills he would just be another hockey player. Thanx for your👍👍 insight
Still can’t believe they didn’t count that Hornqvist goal
yeah I cant believe that did not count I took a still shot and seen it was in but hey were past that and its the NHL what can I say
One of the greatest skaters in the history of hockey. Excellent player.
Awesome video man, when and what will the next one be? Any ideas?
Звезда, но командный игрок. Уважение. Красава
The inside edge stuff is crazy, Cale Makar, and Antonio Strangis are also great at this.
Please do Crosby dangles part 2

@@funtimes8296 lol You're not even a hockey fan.
He's so good it makes me cry
thank you for showing the the save by Fleury instead of a goal
Lol at 6:10 when every single Lightning player gets in the crease to stop him.
Love your videos!!!
How did he come up with such great edge work and skill he makes it look so easy and just amazing skill . I wish my rink was still open so can go back to ice hockey but until lockdown over no rink would be open
your vids are great
He is so good
Imagine how many times Crosby determine games just because of his play making style he is probably one of the best player of all time
Arguably the best overall skater ever..
El Doucheo he is
never seen anyone better on the edge than crosby
Great stuff!
I remember watching this dude when he was a rookie.. he is so good
I am so glad Crosby is Canadian, he should come home and win Canada A Cup!
We were at the oilers vs pension OT
his moves are from basketball moves. like the hesi and the hand movements.
reminds me of crossing people over as well
I could watch this cat alll day longg
I wish you did more videos 😂
Such an artist....
Ovechkins highlights are the complete opposite of this... Alex is just blunt force trauma goal scoring power while Crosby has finesse and style both great but totally different approaches
Exactly, if Ovi wasn't 225lbs and was Crosby's size he wouldn't be as much of a force in the game, unless he adjusted his game to his size.
He's 32 today that's crazy
And how much his unselfish playing makes for the team. He is undisputably the heart of Penguins.
I think I broke my ankles when I saw the opposing guy just fall on the ground but truly goat at edge work and scoring
Hia greatness, unbelievable.
how can anyone hate the Kid...jealousy of bullies, and nice vid!
