After a few games to settle his nerves, Sidney Crosby finally scored his first goal in the NHL. It wasn’t a pretty goal, but it still went in. Now he can calm down, shake off a bit of the pressure, and continue to have fun in the “Big Leagues”
His goal was not nearly as nice as his two assists in this game against the Boston Bruins. He threaded the needle twice, putting the puck right on his linemate’s stick for an easy goal. If he’s going to continue pulling off these kinds of passes, what’s a guy like Mario Lemieux going to do… catch Gretzky for NHL points leader?
Can you tell I’m stoked about the hockey season?!!!
