Not that I, or anyone else, was necessarily expecting anything other than the excellence he's displayed for his entire career, but it's been quite a treat to watch 35-year-old Sidney Crosby keep chugging along, just as he always has.
Entering the league as an 18-year-old with monumental expectations, Crosby has lived up to every bit of the hype and then some. And he just keeps doing it, even as he enters the later stages of his career.
Crosby, who hasn't missed any of the Penguins' 44 games this season, has 21 goals and 31 assists.
