I can not overstate how hard it is to get elevation on a backhand shot with one hand. Incredible. That is his best goal ever IMO.

Sid has the best backhanded shots I've ever witnessed in my life. I love watching him put a puck top shelf from 15 ft out off the backhand. Absolute legend.

He is from a small province Nova Scotia, in Canada, where I am from too.. Defnitely one of the best players EVER....And Hockey in Canada is HUGE!!!! We all hockey fans here.

He also scored the overtime winning goal for canada in the gold medal game at the olympics. One of greats

1) Check out the GoPro video that Crosby made. His hand-eye coordination is unbelievable. 2) Sidney Crosby is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in eastern Canada. He wears #87 because he was born 8/7/87. 3) ESPN and TNT now have the NHL rights. Before the 2021-22 season, it was 2004 the last time ESPN could broadcast the NHL. 4) At 5:05-5:15, when Crosby is skating back-and-forth behind the net, the guy in white trying to keep up was Jason Spezza, who was one of the best players in the league back then. 5) Ovechkin is a better goal scorer, Crosby is a better passer and player overall. They are the 2 greatest players of the last 15 years.

Crosby and Ovechkin are both top ten, all time greats...I'm Team Crosby but I can definitely understand the folks on Team Ovechkin. Number 1-2 in the salary cap era. If you like goal scoring and hitting, Ovechkin is your guy. If you like all around play and crazy playmaking, Crosby is the man. Barring a career ending injury, McDavid will probably be considered 1a or 2a with these guys when all is said and done.

Hockey is really one of the best sports ever to watch. To me, when I watch basketball and soccer, it's just a whole lot of fouls and flopping around. Hockey you don't see that as much and you can actually catch the fade if you want lol. Hockey is a mans sport!

He’s an even better playmaker. Cares more about his team than his stats. Let’s go Crosby. Let’s go Pens!

You need to see the master magician, Pavel Datsyuk. Ridiculous skills.

Hockey is 3 periods of 20 minutes each. 2 15 minute intermissions between periods. Overtime in the regular season is 5 minutes of 3 on 3, sudden-death, next goal wins. If still tied after overtime, it goes to a shootout. Shooter vs Goalie, one on one. Each team gets 3 shooters. Teams alternate shooters. Whoever has the most goals after each 3 shooters shoot, wins. If tied, they keep alternating. In the playoffs, overtime is 20 minute periods of sudden-death, next goal wins hockey. The longest playoff game ever was 6 OT in 1936. The longest playoff game of this era was 5 OT in 2020. You’ve now watched the greatest Russian player in Ovechkin, a Canadian legend in Crosby, I highly recommend the greatest American player, Patrick Kane. The 3 are all very different players. Enjoy!

Sid is one inch shy of 6ft and weighs about 200lbs. Three time Stanley Cup Champion! The BIG trophy. :-) I'm a big Pittsburgh Penguins fan. May I suggest you react to one of the Penguins and NHL's legends...Mario Lemieux? 🙂

Ah man, as a proud Yinzer from the Burgh, I cannot tell you guys how amazing it’s been watching this dudes career. He’ll easily go down as one of the best to ever do it.

Tellin you as a goalie I'm more afraid of Crosby than anyone else in the league. He'll come up with something outta nowhere to score I swear. Ovi has an insane shot Crosby's the artist with huge ass legs and just damn. Just damn ya'll lol.

Just so you guys know. On that #1 shot, its tricky enough to get that much elevation that close to the net. Its trickier still to do it on a back hand shot. But a one handed back hand shot that elevated? You could play hockey for 15 years every day and never do it that good. Sid is generally regarded as a top 5 overall player all time. Ovechkin is maybe the best goal scorer the league has seen. But thats all he does. Sid makes his teammates better with insane passing, takes faceoffs, penalty kills and consistently receives votes as a top defensive forward in the league. But he no slouch on scoring and is only 1 of 2 active players in the top 10 all time for PPG avg (McDavid is the other one) Even Gretzky has conceded that Sid is a more complete player. Sid can do it all (think Jordan), Ovechkin and McDavid are great offensive players but do little else (think James Harden)

#6 play when he was going back and forth behind the net, I was at that game my 1st ever nhl playoff game. That was the game winning goal btw.

My friend was in high school and played crosby who was in 9th grade, Crosby scored 6 goals and had 2 assists and they won 8-1, he said you couldn’t touch crosby it blew his mind and he was only like 15

Thanks for showing this. You should also checkout highlights of the Penguins' first superstar, Mario Lemieux, who played in the same era as Wayne Gretzky.

Being from Pittsburgh and watching Crosby live since 2005 when he entered the league, this video is awesome! You’ll have to come out and watch Sid live 🙌🏼

As a 36 year old penguins fan I have been ridiculously lucky to have been able to see several hall of famers

Crosby is the GOAT!! 3 Stanley cups. Should be more. Hoping for 1 more before he retires

A great Canadian man . Remember the winning gold medal game in the Olympics in Vancouver against the US 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I am from Pittsburgh--we love our sports! Steelers--6 Super Bowl wins Hockey--Penguins 5 Stanley Cups...not sure about baseball but we won a few. I have been watching the Pens for over 40 years! Love your reaction to this video and to your music vidss! Keep up the entertaining the masses--you're doing an awesome job!

After playing hockey my entire life and my world revolving around it for 27 years it’s crazy to me that some people no nothing about it. Greatest game

Sid has been my Pens Captain forever. Drafted when he was 18 and lived here with the Pen’s/hockey legend Mario Lemiux who is now one of the Pitts. Penguins owners. Sid is from Canada. His goal beat the USA at the Olympics in gold medal game. Check out his stats&a wards. He is an all time great. Has won 3 Stanley Cups with the Pens!! We 💛💛💛 Sid!!! Pls check out more highlight reels. More recent play. Also the first time he played Philly and they beat the krap out of him and he came back on the ice and beat them!!! We called him “ Sid the Kid” for years. He’s now on the first line with two younger guys- dubbed “ Sid & the kids”

This was great. Good on yall to give Crosby some props. He deserves recognition from people outside of the sport of hockey for sure.

As a Pens fan, this is beautiful to see people who have never seen the magic of Sid enjoy and respect him for the first time. He’s unreal. Pittsburgh loves our captain. 💛🖤

Watch Datsyuk highlights of you want to see something amazing.. Pavel was named the magician.. he was incredible.. he played for the Detroit red wings.. let's see this reactions to what he did..

Canadian hockey player over here for 25 + years - kicking the puck forward when you're skating that fast is extremely hard to do! I'd love to watch a game with you fine gentlemen Also add McDavid & Datsyuk to to your list - you'll be blown away! One more thing, there's 3 - 20minute periods in a hockey 😆

Number 6 happend against my team and my god i was stunned at his edges. Crosby right now is easy top 5 greatest hockey player of all time and he's gonna make the hall of fame in his first year. i wouldn't be surprised if the league retired his number

He scored the winning Olympic Gold against the US in 2010 as a young Buck so he got love from Canada no doubt.

Your comment on him “being able to play hockey forever” based on his play style is such an accurate description of exactly how Crosbys game is ageing

Sid the top 5 players all time. He's easily the best 'grinder' of all time. He can do absolutely everything on the ice, defense, offense, playmaking, edgework, you name it he's a GOAT. Hockey IQ 1000000. And he's not really slowing down with age. If you could draft any player from his draft, til today's greats like McDavid, Sid would still go #1. I love McDavid but he's gotta win some championships, and I'm sure he will.

This was awsome to see.i legit lived two houses down from sidney growing up in cole harbour nova scotia.

Cosby is Canadian and approximately 53% of NHL players are Canadian. The rest are American, Russian, Czechs., Swedes, and Finns. In the 70’s Canadians made up 96% of the NHL.

Crosby the 🐐

Hockey is definitely the most exciting sport to watch and it has definitely evolved over the decades. I agree with the comments that there are so many great players to watch and be amazed at their highlights. Being from Colorado and a huge Colorado Avalanche fan, I recommend watching the new and up-and-coming players like Cale Makar who won the Norris trophy, Conn Smythe trophy and helped his team win the Stanley Cup all in the 2021-2022 season. He's got some unreal highlights for only being in the league for a few years.

3 periods in hockey. 20 min each. Regular season has ot then shootouts. Playoffs have additional full periods of ot till someone wins. Hockey has everything. Speed, agility, skill and FIGHTS

Gotta do Mario Lemieux. Prettiest goals of all time.

Oh, and the best win I ever seen Crosby make was at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Canada vs USA. He brought the house down. Brilliant game from both teams.

I started watching hockey back in the 60's and I loved the concept of the penalty box. Imagine if they added the penalty box to other sports. Football? Basketball? I would watch it! My favorite all time player was Mario Lemieux. Gretzky was great but Mario was right there with him.

LFG PENS glad to see bruddas watchin the great game of hockey man stay blessed boys!

I recommend watching Evgeni Malkin highlights next. He is also an incredible player with insane highlights who just happens to play for the same team as Crosby! While it's certainly hard to argue against Crosby and Ovechkin being the best players of their generation I personally would mention Malkin as being on a comparable level of greatness. He's a generational talent as well but just hasn't gotten nearly as much media hype as either of them and has consistently been in Sid's shadow. I think the fact he came into the league a year after Crosby and Ovechkin might be the biggest reason why he's so underrated. He has a significantly higher points per game than Ovechkin, the same number of Art Ross Trophies as Crosby(2) and has won pretty much every major award they have except the Rocket as the leagues leading goal scorer, just saying. Also he's the only player in the last 30 years to win the Art Ross Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy while leading the playoffs in scoring all in the same year(Last player to do it was Lemieux).

Been a Pens fan all my life! We're truly blessed in Pittsburgh to have some of the best players in the history of the NHL. Mario Lemieux Jaromir Jagr and Evgeni Malkin along with Sid.

Awesome reactions! Crosby is one of the best athletes on and off the ice. Just a great person overall.

This the first vid I watched on this channel and already fw it heavy like y’all actually brand new to the sport but still appreciate even the little shit...just subbed in hopes y’all become hockey fans lmao

Would love to see you guys react to the craziest saves. They’re enjoyable to watch.

Enjoy watching your vids! Crosby is my fav player and love seeing your reaction to his skill. Ovechkin (enjoyed that vid too!) and Crosby came into the league at the same time and have been compared to one another since day 1. If you haven't already, you must must must do a vid on Connor McDavid highlights, he's the next generation's player and I promise you will be blown away at his skill.

Conor McDavid you guys gotta do. Hes the most skilled in the game

such a fun video to watch

You guys are awesome.

Sid is from Cole Harbour Nova Scotia. He has played with the Penguins since he was 18. He is currently 35 and just signed a new four year contract.

this my new favorite video

Lovin these reactions hah fuck yeah

I'm from Pittsburgh and I will tell you watching Crosby live is magical☺️

You guys are awesome! You get a subscribe from this Canadian hockey fan!

Sidney Crosby is an all around Canadian boy!🇨🇦 He was an amazing threat when he was younger. Unfortunately, he suffered some pretty bad injuries and although he was still great... he couldn't play as well. It was at the time and years before called "boxing on ice". It was very very entertaining.

Ovi's accomplishments are epic and will certainly go down in history. What he has done and is still doing today is surreal. 30 to 50 goals per season over the next few years may not be unlikely for him. Even getting close to Gretzky's goal scoring record, let alone breaking it, was considered unimaginable in today's era. But then ovi scores goals like it's going out of style. With all that being said, the accolades and achievements that Crosby has managed far surpasses those of any other player in today's game, and rivals those of the greatest players ever. You could genuinely argue that Crosby is the best player ever, though you'd have him up against some serious giants. I feel that he's gotten better all round as time goes by, as his game doesn't really rely on speed as much as it does on strength and edgework below the goal line. Like Forsberg, he bounces off of checks down low and creates chances like few others can. What he's done in today's era, I believe, already marks him as the greatest all round player ever. Easily. And he's still got a few years left at being the best all round player in the league. 3 cups. 2 straight finals mvp's. 2 time Olympic golds, and the top player of the tournament in both of those Olympics. Golden goal against the USA in the 2010 Olympics. Ridiculous ppg in regular season and playoffs. And many, many other accolades. McDavid is obviously not from this planet. And MacKinnon is a perfect blend between Crosby and McDavid (Crosby's power and edges + McDavid's speed and handles). But there is a very different feel when you have Crosby on your team come playoffs. Somehow he elevates the play of his entire team with his vision, skill, strength, and work ethic at both ends of the ice. This ability of him to single handedly elevate the play of his entire team is referred to as the Crosby Factor. Indeed it is an enigma. Guys like him and Forsberg love the shorter sticks because they like to keep the puck close to their bodies as they utilize their superior core and leg strength to keep a formidable low center of gravity which makes it nearly impossible for opponents to knock them off the puck without taking a penalty. But when Datsyuk adopted a longer stick, he became the magic man. I'd like to see what Crosby could do with a lengthier stick.

Awesome vid guys!

Crosby probably has the best backhand shot in NHL history. Most players have a stick that's slightly curved in order to elevate the puck when they take a normal shot or pass. If you look at Crosby's stick, it's perfectly flat - he likes it like that because he uses the backhand so much it's easier for him to get leverage on it. Also, all those hand-eye coordination tricks he does, like taking a pass on his back foot and passing it up to his stick, batting pucks out of the air, etc. that's not an accident. He practices tricks like that relentlessly in practice and on his own. It's what sets him apart.

Man I really hope you guys become huge NHL fans. That'd be incredible!

Great video! Crosby is a beast.

As someone who played hockey my whole life that one handed back hand is probably the most impressive thing any player has done

the greatest.

Been to nfl,nba,mlb and hockey games … hockey games are the best by far imo

He looks like Jim from The Office. Lol, that was perfect!

This is a great video. Really puts a good feeling in people. Growing up playing hockey and football. I also wanted the sport of hockey to expand in the U.S. Hockey is hard to understand for people who do not play the sport. It comes off stupid just a bunch of people skating around whacking at a puck. But it is a beautiful game once you get into it.

In Canada we speak English too with a small minority of French. Just because a name sounds “english”. It don’t mean it’s American. Majority of hockey players in the league are Canadians! Don’t forget it’s our official sport 🥲 And the Trophy he was holding is the Stanley Cup, awarded to the winner of the NHL Playoffs. Hardest trophy to win in in all sports!

Pavel Datsyuk !!!!! PLEASE/ HIS MAGICIAN

THE STANLEY CUP IS ONE OF THE NICEST TROPHIES IN SPORTS AND ALL THE PAST WINNERS ARE INGRAVED ON IT AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER EVERY TIME IS LEGENDARY NO LIE

Ahhhh boys. You've just opened a whole new can of reactions. Enjoy the most beautiful sport on the planet!

You guys need to watch to johnathan quick!!! He’s one of the most flexible goalies ever!!!! Use this as a like button for them to react to him! He plays for the LA kings btw

Sid's backhand shot is like unbelievable.

I’m a Pittsburgh fan so I’m team Crosby for sure but Ovechkin is still amazing and probably the best pure goal scorer in history. But I’m glad you guys are watching NHL stuff because hockey may be the best sport and I’m a huge football and Steelers fan but hockey is just such a fast intense physical sport. Also these are all great plays and with Sid it’s tough because he has soo many great plays and has been playing for soo long. But my top ten plays would definitely be different than this. I think Sid has made a lot better plays in his career than some of the ones included on this particular compilation.

CANADIAN LEGEND

Definitely need a reaction to the biggest hits, I think you guys would love that!

You guys should definitely go to a hockey game! They are a great experience

From my hometown, he was here for mackinnon stanley cup parade.

"He looks like Jim off The Office" HAHAHA 😂

There’s a team in Shreveport it’s a junior team but the atmosphere is lit! Keep up the grind fellas!

Love that you guys are doing hockey! Love the reactions! Hockey has 3 20 min periods, with 20 min "intermissions" in between. Quarters are for football and basketball only, cuz they play 4 sets of 15 min. Hence the quarter. Hockey has 3 periods. No halftime. Hockey is awesome cuz it combines rules of soccer, and elements of baseball, football, and boxing. It's soccer on crack, plus you get to fight. Best spirt ever. Do more hockey reactions

I love how much you guys appreciate hockey! If you ever decide to react to tv shows, I think you’d love the show Letter Kenny. It’s based on the Canadian hockey culture and it’s really funny! If you search “shorsey” an anonymous character of the show, you will learn a lot about Canadian “chirping”. This show is an amazing example of small town hockey in Canada, hilarious!

5:39 "That was a nice shot by the homie" - I completely agree

Sid the kid is a canadian legend

Long time Penguins fan. I grew up watching Mario Lemieux & Jaromir Jagr. Lemieux will always be my all time favorite hockey player but that Sid kid is pretty damn good too.

3 20minute periods. Stop time.... Keep the hockey coming, it’s an insane game and has a bit of everything! Hahaha There are some great brawls to check out for sure, savage mode. Game hasn’t really had them for a couple decades, I mean back in the day bench clearing brawls were pretty nuts. Love from 🇨🇦

Sid is the GOAT. Great react!

OK, check it out... THAT trophy is The Stanley Cup. The Cup in on top of all the other layers that have been added over the decades. The Stanley Cup dates back to 17th century England. Its a historic artifact, and there is only one in existence. There are 3 "periods" in hockey, each one is 20 minutes. The blue lines on the ice mark each team's "zone". If you have the puck and are skating towards the other team's zone, the puck has to cross the blue line before you do. If you (or one of your teammates) enter the zone before the puck, your team is off-side.The play stops and the faceoff is in the neutral zone. The Goalie's area: the blue paint in front of the goalie is called "the crease". If your team has the puck and is in the other teams zone, you cannot go stand in the crease and wait for the puck. Thats called goaltender interference. However, you CAN stand just outside of the crease in hopes of deflecting your teammates shot into the goal. But you will take a beating by the defending team for standing there, they know what you're up to. Also, if you have the puck you are a target for the defensemen from the other team. Anywhere one the ice. You are a target and getting slammed into and possibly injured is fair. Hope this helps yall understand the game more. Hockey is fast, brutal and unpredictable. Ive seen teams make amazing comebacks in the last few minutes of the game. It aint over till its actually over.

There is so much skill in hockey u guy should watch everything

Team Ovie 🤙🏻 but mad respect for Sid the kid

Canadian legend, scored the winning goal against Team USA in the gold medal game of the 2010 Olympics. And he still walks among us!

Ayyy haha I just commented on a recent video saying to watch this guy hahaha

Love seeing new fans come to hockey. The only frustrating part is the plays that the greats make are so subtle in comparison to regular players it is hard for new fans to understand the difficulty of what they have just seen. For new fans watching big hits and big booming slap shots (ovechkin, Lindros etc) is easier to comprehend than Crosbys Edgework or Datsuks puck control.

Sid is amazing. I was at the game where Jake Guentzel hit the puck towards Sid and he hit it again and then hit it in the net. Amazing eye/hand coordination. He’s from Canada but has played his whole career for the Pittsburgh Penguins. We are so blessed to have him. Florida has two hockey teams the Florida Panthers (Miami) and Tampa Bay Lightning. Sid started at 18 years old when he was drafted. He’s still playing. You should watch his skills videos. Puck Protection, Dekes, all kinds. I love hockey and football. Can’t watch baseball or soccer, they’re boring to me. Hockey has fights although not as many as they used to. Try NHL hits…they’re incredible. Hockey is so fast. You would love it. Good reaction guys!

I would love for these guys to see some michigans or lacrosse style goals

Just to put the number 1 play in perspective; another GOATED player Mario Lemeuiex who played for the penguins won Stanley cup damn near on a play that was literally identical to what sid did and the statue of Mario’s play is outside penguins arena. It is believed that Mario could’ve even been better than Gretzky if his health didn’t fail him. And sid is still relatively young for nhl. He’s got at least another good 5-10 year stretch in his prime. Plus, sid has been said to be the second coming of Mario anyway, so yea, he’s on his way to 🐐 status

Ovechkin is the best goal scorer, but Crosby is the best overall 2 way player and play-maker. So lucky to see both these hall of famers play every night

3 20 min period boys

Super Mario Lemieux. I know the great one Gretzky is amazing but the fact that Mario played threw significant health issues, that caused him to "retire" for a couple years and returned is an amazing story and a testment to the player he is. I may be partial due to Pittsburgh being my favorite team since i was a kid but watch Mario live was the best.

It's probably because I'm from a community not too far off from where Crosby grew up (I actually went to the same school as his cousin, never really knew her though), but Crosby is my favorite NHL player of all time. Probably always will be.

subbed because of the hockey!
