Crosby gives it his best shot … and scores the game-winner

Sidney Crosby had three points, including the game-winning goal, against Philadelphia at PPG Paints Friday evening.

It was the most stunning development in Western Pennsylvania since the region experienced an overcast day in winter that featured the sun setting in the west.

OK, maybe a bit less surprising than that.

Crosby, you see, has treated the Flyers like his personal pinata since he broke into the league in 2005; he has 43 goals and 62 assists in 70 career regular-season games against them.

Of those 43 goals, six are game-winners -- including three of the past half-dozen the Penguins have gotten in overtime against Philadelphia.
