"It was nice to get the first one out of the way," – Sidney Crosby

"I was better at both ends, defensively and offensively, … It was more of a well-rounded game.
I want to add to that." – Sidney Crosby

"I feel comfortable, … I’m definitely feeling challenged but with each day I gain more
experience. I’m just trying to improve each day." – Sidney Crosby

"I want to play as soon as possible, … You want to play but I don’t pick and choose. It’s
not my job." – Sidney Crosby

"I didn’t anticipate anything — I was just showing up and seeing what the town and people
were about, but it was a very welcoming sight, … I’m sure the energy and excitement in town are going
to rub off on the players. It’s nice to see everybody’s so excited about getting hockey started."
- Sidney Crosby

"You can’t afford to go out there and watch too much, … If you get caught watching, you’re
not going to get to the puck and not going to make good plays." – Sidney Crosby

"The defensemen went down and got out of position, … So then the goalie had no choice but
to play the shot so I knew Mark had an open shot. I gave him a quick look and got him the puck." -
Sidney Crosby

"I think I did all right but I want to improve, … I don’t think I’m happy with being average
in that department and I want to make sure I compete with those guys. It was 50-50, I lost some battles." – Sidney Crosby

"It was amazing. You don’t have a choice but to play your best. They force you do do that because
they’re smart and that’s the fun part for me, I’m being challenged to think faster and be creative."
- Sidney Crosby

"I was anxious to get started, … There was so much anticipation. I wanted to get in the routine
of playing games. It was just nice to be on a team, not competing against these guys in camp [but] trying to
work together to win." – Sidney Crosby

He finished the season sixth over all in the league scoring race and seventh in the NHL in assists. His stellar rookie performance earned him a nomination for the Calder trophy, awarded to the leagues best rookie. However he finished second in Calder Memorial Trophy voting behind Alexander Ovechkin whom scored 50 goals.

Because the Pittsburgh Penguins failed to make the playoffs during the 2006 season Crosby was able to represent Team Canada once again on the international scene.

He tallied a tournament-best eight goals and eight assists in nine games. Also, Crosby was named the tournament’s top forward and to the competition’s all-star team.

Crosby was drafted first overall in the QMJHL Draft on June 7, 2003 by the Rimouski Océanic and he quickly went on to win the QMJHL scoring title while setting new records for 16-year-olds during his rookie season. He achieved 54 goals and 81 assists during his first season with Rimouski.

On July 22, 2005 the NHL, upon ratification of its new collective bargaining agreement, held its first ever league wide draft lottery, that was won by the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins then selected Sidney Crosby as tier first selection and the first overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. It gave Crosby the opportunity to play along side the man to whom he has drawn several comparisons, Mario Lemieux.
He played his first professional NHL game on October 5, 2005, against the New Jersey Devils, and registered an assist on a goal scored by Mark Recchi. He continued his success in his next two NHL games, registering an assist against the Carolina Hurricanes on October 7, 2005, and then scoring his first career NHL goal and adding two assists against the Boston Bruins the next night. Crosby’s first NHL goal came against goaltender Hannu Toivonen and was assisted by line mates Mark Recchi and Zigmund Palffy.

On Thursday, November 4, Sidney recorded his first 2-goal game against the New York Islanders in a 5-1 win. Sidney also put up an assist for a three point night. This performance came just after receiving recognition as the October Rookie of the month. November was a very exciting month for Sidney. On November 10, he scored a shootout winning goal on home ice, against the Montreal Canadiens (Crosby’s favorite team growing up). The 18 year old sensation scored the deciding shoot out goal on a backhand shot, roofing the puck past goaltender Jose Theodore, sending the net minder’s water bottle skyward and the Mellon Arena crowd into a frenzy.

Just six days later, in Philadelphia, he was high sticked by the Flyers’ Derian Hatcher during regulation play, cutting his lip and chipping his two front teeth. However, the rough-housing only seemed to ignite and inspire the talented youngster, as he scored the game winning goal in sudden death overtime to defeat the Flyers.
