Just when you think you’ve seen it all from our captain, he does something even more extraordinary to grab your attention.
Take Canada’s must-have 5-3 victory over Finland yesterday afternoon. Canada had built a seemingly insurmountable 4-0 lead, thanks in part to Crosby’s laser-precise pass off the end boards to fellow Nova Scotian Nathan MacKinnon on the fourth goal.
However, just when the game seemed all-but-a-wrap, the plucky Finns stormed back with a fury in the third period, striking for three unanswered goals in just over five minutes, including a pair by former Pen Mikael Granlund within a 23-second span.
