Now, one of his former teammates has opened up on hockey and his time with the Penguins, revealing just how impressive Crosby's mind is, and just how obsessed he is with the game, winning and being the best.
"That's very individual. Some guys thrive on it, others get sick of it. I know players who never stop watching hockey. When I was with Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, he could walk into the room and start discussing a shift from the previous night's game - he saw everything, remembered everything. For him, that was normal. For others, with family and kids, if hockey is the only thing in life, you'd go crazy. Everyone is different."
