There really is little argument left as to whether Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is the best center in the game.
His strong play last season and a dominating Stanley Cup Playoff run that included the Penguins' six-game victory against the San Jose Sharks in the Cup Final catapulted him back to the top of the field in the eyes of most critics. Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy (six goals, 19 points in 24 games) and won the Cup for the second time in his career (2009).
"Sidney Crosby proved last season he is still the most dominant player in the NHL because of his across-the-board impact, including on the scoreboard, on the score sheet, on his linemates, and not to be forgotten, on how the opposing coach has to manage his lineup," NHL.
