Not a lot going on right now so I thought I’d pass along an interesting tweet about Sidney Crosby

It's sometimes easy to forget how incredible Crosby is.

His avg shot distance is ~8 feet closer than NHL avg. He has a ton of shots but basically never settles for the perimeter. He can use every shot type and score with them all. He's so, so good.https://t.co/jFV6H7qzGr pic.twitter.com/QYYL8oR9Zi

I think this speaks to Sidney Crosby’s vision and ability to keep plays alive. Crosby has an excellent release and is extremely accurate. He doesn’t have one of the heavier shots in the league. I’m sure Crosby understands this as well. Instead of letting it fly from anywhere he is more selective. He’s also the best grinder in hockey and create more than anybody else down low. I think it helps that over the past couple of years he finds himself closer to the net on the power play. Sid is still great, who knew?

I will not have daily content in August. It will pick up when there is more going on or I have something original or unique to share. Enjoy the summer.

Thanks for reading!
