Crosby Mirrors Idol Yzerman
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has a way of doing that for teammates. From an incoming star such as Hossa to a training-camp invitee like forward Adam Hall, Crosby helps out where he can to make everybody feel they are his equals. But Crosby knows no other way to lead. His acknowledged hockey idol, Steve Yzerman, was equally unknowing as longtime captain of the Detroit Red Wings. Now a vice president with Detroit, Yzerman is well aware this Stanley Cup is an introduction for many casual sports fans to Crosby - the NHL’s one-man marketing machine.
