Sidney Crosby is used to facing high expectations with the Pittsburgh Penguins but said Thursday they might be even higher after trading for Phil Kessel this month.
"It's a nice addition to our team, obviously," Crosby told CTV News Atlantic. "He's a great scorer, he brings a lot, and offensively he's going to help any team. So we're happy to have him, and I think from talking to him he seems like he's excited, and I think it'll be something that everyone's looking forward to this season, a lot of anticipation."
Kessel was traded to the Penguins by the Toronto Maple Leafs on July 1, bringing five 30-goal seasons, including 181 goals over the past six.
