Sidney Crosby Caps Off Brilliant Season With Conn Smythe Trophy And Stanley Cup
More than three months before he captured the second Stanley Cup of an increasingly illustrious career, Sidney Crosby reflected on how quickly time has passed since he first hoisted the game’s greatest prize.
It dragged during the scary time when his career was thrown into disarray by a concussion, but otherwise the Pittsburgh Penguins captain said the NHL seasons have flown by.
“I think that every year that goes by it seems like those are opportunities you have to win and you look back on that experience and how special it was and you want to do it again,” Crosby said in an interview back in March, reflecting on the seven years that have passed since 2009, when a 21-year-old Crosby last led the Penguins to the Cup.
“It’s not easy, but I think that it’s fresh enough or it’s still there in my mind where I definitely want to do it again.”
