🚨SWISHY TAKES: I think Sidney Crosby is the best all around hockey player to ever lace them up in the National League. Is that asinine to think that? If you were in that Wuhan lab in China trying to clone the perfect hockey player out of a Petri dish, not a virus to shut down the world for 3 years, Sidney Crosby would be the prototype and or gold standard. The best grinder of all time. Low center gravity. Strongest core / lower half we’ve seen in a great since Jagr but his edges and feet are far superior. Elite stick defensively. Better than any player on both sides of the puck especially below the dots. And the offense speaks for itself. He is the Kobe of hockey in terms of the mentality he approaches the game with. And my favorite trait he possesses? His ability to play on his backhand. I used to hate when coaches would discourage players to play on their backend. The ability to use it and use it well is a strength!! Crosby doesn’t get put in the GOAT category enough. Crosby. Wayne. Robert Gordon Orr. In that order.

Brad Marchand in 2018: “I was never the best kid on my team — anyone will tell you that. My buddies were better players. As we got older, they were getting all the attention from the junior teams. I’ll never forget, when we were 12 years old our coach gave this speech in the locker room before a game, and he said, ‘There’s thousands of kids like you in Canada. There’s thousands more all over the world. You know what the statistics say? The statistics say that only 0.01% of you will make it to the NHL.’
I just always remembered that stat, and I would think to myself, ‘Man, if I’m not even the best kid on my pee-wee team … there’s no chance. How could I ever get noticed?’
That same pee-wee season, something else happened that took my mindset a step further. We were playing against our rivals, Cole Harbor, in some important game, and they had this monster forward on their team who always killed us.
During the game, the kid took a run at my brother, and he smoked him. For as much as we’d mess with one another at home, if you ever hurt my brother, it was like a red light went off inside me. I’d fight you.
So we went out, and every time the kid touched the puck, one of us took a run. He got so pissed off that he took a slashing penalty right at the end of his shift, and we got a power play. We ended up scoring the game-winning goal with him in the box, and I had this realization like, ‘OK … if I have a 0.01% chance, this might be one way of getting people to notice me.’
I have done things that have stepped over that line, and I’ve paid the price for it.... There’s a lot of people out there in the hockey world who love to say, ‘Winning is everything. It’s the only thing.’
Do they really mean it? How far are they willing to go? Maybe it was my size, or just the way I was born, but I’ve always felt like you have to be willing to do anything — literally anything — in order to win. Even if that means being hated. Even if it means carrying around some baggage.
If I played the game any other way, you absolutely would not know my name. You wouldn’t care enough to hate me, because I wouldn’t be in the NHL.” https://t.co/YaGuxkR03w

At some point the NCAA needs to drop the “student first, athlete second” charade.
Billions of dollars, NIL, transfer portal (free agency), traveling cross-country for midweek games…
Education is not the main focus.
Admit it and call it what it is.
A business.
Run it as such.
