But In My Mind, I Don't Think There's Any Question Sidney Crosby Is The Best All-around Player In The Game. His Hockey Sense Is So Strong And So Solid, Combined With His God-gifted Talent Of Being Able To See The Ice, See The Entire Picture In Front Of Him. 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.
