Sidney Crosby’s been lighting up goalies left and right with his shooting prowess lately. Honestly, it’s to the point where you forget that playmaking is still likely his greatest gift.
... And then, well, Thursday happens.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a bit of a track meet with the New Jersey Devils tonight, with Nick Bonino providing some great assisting magic of his own. As per usual, Crosby stole the show with an And1 Mixtape-worthy no-look helper to Conor Sheary.
Drop your jaw in awe of this gaudy display in the video above.
At least one person wonders if Crosby could have been so audacious in a different era:
Great play by Crosby (this is a recording). 15 years ago he gets destroyed making that pass in the slot like that. https://t.co/LwdDAugecD

Chances are, he would have found a different way to do something ridiculous.
