Crosby Scores Hat-trick as the Penguins crush the Habs 6-1

There’s a reason the Penguins won the cup last year – check out Sidney Crosby’s hat trick against the Montreal Canadians.

The second goal, a turnaround, top shelf backhand is unbelievable. His third marker, he sneaks behind the defense, and cuts across across Halak twice and beats him in close.

Players rarely live up to their pre-draft hype; there’s tons of players who were highly touted coming into the NHL, but could never make a serious mark in the league (Patrik Stefan, Alexandre Daigle). After a Stanley Cup ring, Art Ross and Hart Memorial Trophy, it’s clear Sid is every bit the star everyone made him out to be.
