One point and a minus-2 in the series. I would put that sentence all over his locker if I was his teammate. I'd repeat it over and over again in the dressing room and at any practice or morning skate. I wouldn't say anything else to him. Maybe get T-shirts made up for Game 4. One point and a minus-2. Put it on a Post-It on his steering wheel and on his perfect pushup, perfect pull-up and his tub of protein powder. Then, watch him respond in Game 4. If it's enough, we got a series.

Sorry, was supposed to say John Buccigross evaluates Sidney Crosby’s play in the Finals after Game 3

Meh, what’s a teammate going to say? Other than Malkin no one is really going offensively too much right now and Sid’s teammates, more than anyone else, know that he is trying and going to come through when it counts.

Crosby is already more focused and determined than any player on the team. I don’t think he needs his own teammates to light a fire under him, he needs his teammates to step up and play their games.
