Crosby has already won the 2010 Olympics. This video proves it beyond any reasonable doubt.

I like AO's thoughts on still playing for his country regardless if the NHL has an Olympic break for the 2014 games.

I approve of this.

Very cool of Sid to sit there and endure that for so long. He was really good natured about it all.

I'll admit that he has the ability to annoy the hell outta me, but after watching that video, I actually found some respect for the dude.

The 2010 Oylmpics to me aren't about these two guys, but the two countries they play for... Canada vs Russia... I cannot wait for that matchup.

And that video of the comedian is pretty damn funny

Yeah, Sid is a classy guy off the ice, just shy.

If you watch any of the "Sidney Crosby man-love DVD" you can see the guy is actually pretty personable.

Also Sid needs a new name. The guy is 22.

Ya know, this is cool and all, but here's what I don't get, and maybe because they play for the same Olympic team, but I think the rivalry between Ovechkin and Malkin is much more intense than Ovie and Crosby.

IMO it's pretty hard to discuss Ovechkin and Crosby without mentioning Malkin.
