WHEN SIDNEY CROSBY remembers Johnny Gaudreau, he thinks of the 2023 All-Star Game in Florida, sitting in gridlock traffic heading from their hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
"It was myself, Johnny and [Kevin Hayes] in the back of the bus," Crosby said. "Haysey was basically running the back of the bus there. I think he talked for 40 minutes. I don't think Johnny said anything, but he laughed for the entire 40 minutes."
For Nathan MacKinnon, it's one of his personal hockey highlights, scoring the overtime winner for Team North America against Sweden at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
