The night held the magic that only hero's can create. It was full of anticipation. it was that night, that the kid danced...
“I put a lot of hard work in,” Crosby said. “Last summer and throughout the season it was something I was trying to focus on. You’re doing it to help yourself and help your team. It was a nice bonus.”
Sid scored twice, scoring his 50th and 51rst goals. Then, he had a 5 point night! We were all wondering if he would get the Art Ross! However, the unnecessary penalties (a lot by Malkin) made that pretty much impossible. Malkin had 4 points that night too, Goddard scored as well.
Towards the end of the third period, when Sid found out that Stamkos scored an open-netter tying Sid's 51 goal, Sid raced down the ice like a man on a mission. At once point he danced around the net twice, but Roloson just stopped him. It was amazing to his his tricks...tricks that no mere mortal could do, only Sid, Ovie and Gino have the talent...and Sid was eating up the ice!
"He was in a race and we wanted to put him in a position to do what he could,” Bylsma said. “It’s a delicate balance to try to get to the playoffs as healthy as we can while also playing the game.”
It was hard for Sid to tie Stamkos for the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy by an empty-netter, but Sid was happy for the achievement of both him and Stamkos.
“I was happy with my consistency and my overall game was hopefully better with face-offs and things like that,” Crosby said. “I feel like I improved in other areas.”
...No matter what Sid says, it's with honesty, class and good-sportsmanship....way to go Sid!
