Nice video rendition telling us that “History Will Be Made” with Crosby but by the looks of the video footage we all know that History has already been made by Crosby with that game winning goal! Here’s to this and many more Sidney Crosby Video Montages

Canada beat the United States 3-2 in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Gold Medal game to earn its second men’s hockey gold medal in the last three Olympics, with Sidney Crosby scoring the winning goal 7:40 into overtime.

This video is more of a photo summary with a review of the game highlights.

$10000 reward for missing Stick & Glove

Crosby once again has had his historic hockey memorabilia stolen. Last after scoring the over time winning goal for team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympic gold medal game things got pretty hectic. Sidney was ecstatic and threw his gloves and stick into the air just as the rest of his teammates mobbed him in the celebration. Then after all the commission was finished each Canadian player (except Crosby) was able get all their equipment back.

All that remained was one of his gloves and his mouthpiece. In the past Crosby has had some of his jerseys stolen from his bag while traveling. Hockey Canada officials have apparently checked various game video and photos in order to try and find clues of the missing items but have not had any success so far.

Reebok, Crosby’s official equipment sponsor has decided to help try and recover the missing hockey stick and glove with a “no questions asked” $10,000 reward to anyone who returns the items.

The game-used sports memorabilia has become a booming business these days and when an item is from a player like Crosby and also has historical attribute, then it could legitimately go for a lot more then the $10,000 Reebok is offering for the return.

So if any body knows the wear about of Sidney’s latest lost items then they certainly should cash in on the award money.

Crosby’s OT goal brings home the Gold

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:11:07 +0000

Team Canada beat the Americans yesterday to in overtime to win the 2010 Gold Medal for Mens Hockey. And probably even more ironic is the fact that Sid the Kid was there to seal to deal. And there is no doubt that this goal (although nothing too fancy about it) will be remembered to many Canadians as time goes on, much like the famous goal that Paul Henderson scored during the 72 Summit series.

The teams were so close that Team USA was able to tie the game with only 24 seconds remaining to force the gold medal game to go into the extra period. In fact this game was the only game that Team USA had lost in the tournament (they beat Team Canada during round robin play) thanks to key players like Ryan Miller, Zach Parise and Patrick Kane.

Canada’s gold medal win was not really thanks to Crosby alone, the team played solid together as a team with many players chipping in and no real MVP player that stands out among the rest. Crosby did score the OT winning goal but he certainly wasn’t the best player on the team. Several players such as Rick Nash, Jonathan Toews, Jerome Iginla, Scott Niedermayer, and Roberto Luongo played just as amazing hockey as Crosby did. Yet Crosby managed to shine through when needed much like he always seems to be able to do.

Regardless of what some critics might say about Crosby’s opympic play adding an Olympic Gold Medal to an already impressive Hockey resume only makes it that much sweeter for the young super star of Nova Scotia in the minds of Canadian hockey fans everywhere.

Crosby part of 2010 Team Canada Olympic Team

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:19:31 +0000

Crosby was one of the twenty three Canadian hockey players included on the 2010 Team Canada hockey roster as announced by General Manager Steve Yzerman the other day. The team hopes that it can improve on the disappointing seventh place finish at the last Olympic Games and perhaps bring back the gold like they did in 2002. The roster has some return players but a lot of new faces with the hope to bring in a younger hockey generation.

Forwards include:
Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins)
Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim Ducks)
Dany Heatley (San Jose Sharks)
Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames)
Patrick Marleau (San Jose Sharks)
Brenden Morrow (Dallas Stars)
Rich Nash (Columbus Blue Jackets)
Corey Perry (Anaheim Ducks)
Mike Richards (Philadelphia Flyers)
Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricanes)
Joe Thornton (San Jose Sharks)
Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)

Defensemen:
Dan Boyle (San Jose Sharks)
Drew Doughty (Los Angeles Kings)
Duncan Keith (Chicago Blackhawks)
Scott Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks)
Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers)
Brent Seabrook (Chicago Blackhawks)
Shea Weber (Nashville Predators)

Goaltenders:

Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils)
Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks)

Some key players that were left off the roster include Jeff Carter, Shane Doan, Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Brad Richards, Mike Green, Dion Phaneuf and Jay Bouwmeester.

Former NHL star Steve Yzerman is the team’s GM and Mike Babcock will assume be the Head Coach for Team Canada.

We will have to wait and see in February if the Team Canada selection was the winning combination or not.

Sidney Crosby runs with Olympic flame

admin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:12:09 +0000

Sidney Crosby added another iconic piece of hardware to his stellar collection, except this time it wasn’t a trophy but a 2010 Winter Olympic torch.

Thousands of Maritimes lined up both sides of downtown Halifax streets to watch the Penguins captain carry the torch in a mitten-covered hand for about 300 meters. Dressed with the official torchbearer uniform, Crosby grinned and jogged below historic Citadel Hill as the bright, orange flame burned above his head.

Crosby’s hometown of Cole Harbour is located across the harbour from Halifax.

The winter games are scheduled to be held in Vancouver British Columbia in February 2010. Crosby is expected to play on the top line this time; Sidney was snubbed by Team Canada at the last winter Olympics in 2006.

Perhaps the Olympic torch run for Crosby will bring him some good luck for his play at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Four day Team Canada Olympic camp concludes

admin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:05:09 +0000

As the four day Team Canada Olympic camp came to a close it was reasonable to assume that a number of things will need to happen during the early stages of the hockey season to help complete Steve Yzerman’s vision for Team Canada before he goes ahead and makes the final selections for the Olympic Team in December. There is a lot of pressure for Team Canada this year, performing on home ice and especially after coming home without medals at the last Olympic tournament. The camp in Calgary did offer a few hints or possibilities of how some players currently stand on the Olympic Team. As camp was wrapping up, Yzerman did acknowledge that there was a logic to the line pairings that they tested.

I think its safe to say that Crosby will not be snubbed this year and we will look forward to seeing him lead the team to Gold just like he led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup last year.
