This August 7th is different than others with some external expectations of a contract extension that was never promised and for all we know was never a consideration in the first place.
That little wrinkle not withstanding, every August 7th is special as Sidney Crosby’s birthday. Sometimes getting lost in the shuffle of the day-to-day troubles and turmoil of a late-stage or post-contender situation, Crosby has entered the top-10 of all-time NHL points.
Sidney Crosby, who turns 37 today, is coming off a 94-point season that saw him enter the top 10 in all-time points!
