Video: Crosby goes top corner with wicked backhander

crosby2.jpg

Just another video of a beautiful Sidney Crosby goal here.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain and a lock for the Canadian Olympic team - the roster will be announced on Jan. 7 - Crosby went top corner with a wicked backhander on New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist in the second period of Friday’s game.

Now, he’s gone top-corner backhand before. But this wasn’t from in close or on a breakaway. This was a backhand shot from the hash marks that beat one of the world’s best goaltenders in Lundqvist. It also gave the Penguins a 4-0 lead going into the intermission.
