For a player known as one of the greatest passers of all time, Sidney Crosby has scored some remarkable goals in his career as a Pittsburgh Penguin

The Penguins scored a goal against the Philadelphia Flyers that started and ended on Sidney Crosby’s stick. That’s not uncommon at all for the Pens, but when Crosby is stick-less for all but 10 seconds of the rush, well, that’s a first.

When Brian Dumoulin broke his stick in the Penguins’ defensive zone early in the second period against the Flyers, Crosby passed his stick to his defensive teammate, and as if the hockey gods planned it, the puck found itself sliding to Dumoulin in front of his net.
