• But in my mind, I don't think there's any question Sidney Crosby is the best all-around player in the game.

And, most importantly, I don't care how good you are, if you don't have a work ethic, it doesn't matter. There's no question that each and every game, he's one of the hardest-working guys on the ice. In my mind, he's the best player in the game today.
