Any player in the NHL would be a great comparison, but when you name a guy like Sidney Crosby . . . but I don't know if I'll be able to do things he's done in the league because we're different types of players,

Sidney Crosby is an emotional guy. You don't want to take that away. It's part of his game.

Yes, Sidney Crosby. He's the best player I've seen since Mario (Lemieux).

Sidney can pitch better, but [he] was good enough to get the victory. I see him as a guy who's going to get better and better with every start. He has had a lot of success in his career, and [he] can do a lot to help our pitching staff.

[Sidney Crosby , the 17-year-old center expected to the No. 1 pick in the delayed NHL Entry Draft,] has made it clear that he doesn't want to be a replacement player, ... It's always a possibility, but that's a little bit premature. But we are exploring our options from a legal standpoint.

You look at his game from when he was a rookie to now and there's no comparison. He can flat-out score. In the post, on the perimeter he can score. Now he's getting the mid-range game going.
