[Son Goku]

Awesome work

 

[Creativero]

I think I've actually knoticed Sheary trying to imitate Crosby's edge work a little lately.

 

[authentic]

These videos are unreal, this one is especially amazing. Crosby is not only the best hockey player in hockey, but he's also the best baseball and soccer player in hockey.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Top 5 player of all time when it's all set and done.

We have to enjoy these next few years of his domination, we will never see another one like him again.

A few Penguins put in work on this. Gino's been doing this and working on this for years, you will see him too using his feet a lot and very well if not better.

I can't wait for the next one, these are great. Thanks for the work OP. Hope you can put together his tips/deflections sometime as I think that is his best attribute overall in his game.

Little to do with Crosby's ability to control pucks with his skate, but his goal at ~ 6:08 of the video is just a brilliant play.

Which other past or current players have had good 'footwork'?

Panarin has best footwork in NHL he did nasty ankle breaker twice vs Sens today

 

[Bouboumaster]

So much talent. We are lucky to be able to watch him play the game.

 

[illpucks]

Top 5 player of all time when it's all set and done.

Only if Jagr>Howe. Jagr is having 3 point games in modern NHL at 45. He is definitely top 5.

 

[Liminality]

Really enjoyed that, his ability to control the puck no matter how you pass it to him is amazing.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Top 5 player of all time when it's all set and done.

Calm down

I agree he is one of the greatest ever, but if you're not on the verge of death you will surely see another one like him, probably better than him.

To OP, amazing video! Thanks for that!

 

[Shaftception]

These have been quite well done ever since the first, kudos to the op on the dedication.

It's a breath of fresh air to see highlight videos that focus on these lesser known aspects of a player than say your dime a dozen top goal videos. I'm sure there's a number of unique aspects of the best players that go under appreciated like these videos with Crosby illustrate.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. He'll go down with Jagr if not better on the all time list despite the fact that he will never approach him in career games played. If he hadn't missed so much time in his prime seasons there is a chance many would rank him 5th all time already and not many would debate. Heck, some still do and I don't think that's an outlandish opinion.

 

[Zaddy]

Guy probably would've been a pretty good soccer player with those feet.

 

[Laineux]

I'm not sure we'll ever see a player more dominant than Crosby considering how professional the game has become.

 

[Old Gregg]

Awesome stuff! His ability to receive a pass in his skates at full speed is amazing to watch. If you have time for another video, I'd love to see a video on his hand eye and deflections. He had another great deflection last night

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

He's a Jedi guys. Has to be.

Great highlight film by the way OP, thanks for that.

 

[stepdad gaary]

can we just talk about the video.


Amazing job as usual

 

[Absolut]

Crosby is just an amazing talent. His footwork is a piece of art.

 

[Greeneye]

great job on the video. Sid's footwork is absolutely insane.

 

[RichWVU]

Excellent video, my favorite ones are the ones where he's able to use his right skate as a second stick, keeping himself in a perfect shooting position.

Sub'd up so I can catch up on the others later.

 

[PK16]

Unbelievable skillset.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Crosby's stick handling skills are even more impressive:
