Sidney Crosby scored arguably one of the finest goals of his incredible career Tuesday night against the Buffalo Sabres.
No. 87 went end to end, slicing through four different Sabres, before using a one-handed backhand to record his 41st of the season behind poor Robin Lehner, who could never have imagined that kind of abuse.
Here's the goal:
Twitter lost its damn mind, all the adjectives were flying, because as much as we talk about Crosby, Connor McDavid, Brad Marchand, and Patrick Kane and the races for the Art Ross and Hart trophies, we were reminded once again Tuesday that there is Crosby and then there's everyone else.
Some of the best reaction:
One handed 🥅#87 Really!

Quite simply, one of the great goals of Crosby's career. I have nothing left to add.

Just when you think Sidney Crosby has done everything a hockey player can do, he does that. Best in the world. Wow.

Sidney Crosby's slump against the Sabres is over. It lasted one game.

Highlight-reel goal gives him 16 goals, 51 points in 34 meetings.
Sidney Crosby only needs one hand to score on a breakaway.
