A new generation of Canadian stars take their cues from the team's captain, who sets the culture even while playing injured.

Mike Sullivan is familiar with coaching Sidney Crosby on the Pittsburgh Penguins. But coaching against him is unfamiliar territory.

Team Canada head coach Jon Cooper had some major praise for Sidney Crosby after tallying two points in the win over Finland.

Canada has No. 87 and Mythical on Ice. This is the most rarefied status to which Sidney Crosby has climbed. “Crosby! Crosby! Crosby!” the adoring audience at Bell chanted when the center climbed over the boards just about 5:30 into overtime of Canada’s 4 Nations opener on Wednesday against Sweden.

Canada must beat Finland on Monday to set up a rematch with the U.S. in the 4 Nations final. Can Crosby be golden again?

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby once again played a major role in Canada's win. No. 87 scored the empty-netter that put an end to Team Finland's impressive comeback attempt, which saw them score three unanswered goals in the third period. Crosby also had the primary assist on Nathan MacKinnon's second-period goal.

Sidney Crosby says he's good to go for Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off after getting injured in one of Pittsburgh's final games before the break in the NHL season.

I am the first to doubt a transaction involving Sidney Crosby. The captain of the Penguins is one of the greatest players in the franchise’s history, and clearly, he is well aware of this. He even agreed to sign at a discount to remain in Pennsylvania.
