Saw this on r/hockey and it was too good not to share - from 2005 a scouting report on Sidney Crosby. I guess it was pretty easy to scout the best player of his generation. But it does go to show how much Crosby had to live up to, and how in many ways not much has changed in the last 13 years as many aspects of the report ring very true and familiar for what Penguin fans have witnessed over the years.

Some favorite lines:
“his vision is unparalleled” - true, true
“uses the hard crisp pass and puts it on the tape every time” - sounds like a guy we know
“needless to say he has great hockey sense” - under-statement of the century?
