Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 0

Crosby wore the "A" for the first time in Therien's first game behind the Penguins bench, on December 16th, 2005. This, coincidentally, was Mario Lemieux's last game, before retiring in January of 2006.

Answer: 2

Crosby watched the Olympics from Cole Harbour Nova Scotia, cheering them on as they lost to a talented Russian team on a goal by Calder Trophy winner Alexander Ovechkin. Crosby had a much better season than many of his fellow Canadians, finishing with more points than everyone on the team but Joe Thornton of the Sharks and Dany Heatley of the Senators.

3. Despite being the target of cheapshots and very aggressive play, Sidney Crosby still managed to stay off the injured reserve in the 2005-06 season. How many games did he end up missing?

Answer: 1

Crosby played 81 games in his rookie season, missing only the February 2nd game in Ottawa. The Penguins missed him, as they lost 7-2.

Answer: 8

Crosby finished with 8 goals, 8 assists, and 10 penalty minutes, which was enough to earn him tournament leading scorer.

5. The World Championships of April 2006 also allowed Crosby to be reunited with his good friend, and World Junior teammate, Patrice Bergeron, on the first line. Who rounded out this line?

Answer: Brad Boyes

Brad Boyes capped off a high powered and young first line, which led the team to a 4th placed finish.

Answer: 2

Crosby was not stellar in the shootout, although everyone remembers his first shootout goal, a winner against the Montreal Canadiens, when he sent goaltender Jos� Theodore's waterbottle flying in the air on a beautiful backhand.

7. Sidney Crosby recorded his 100th career point, and 100th point of the 2005-06 season, in the Penguins final home game of the season. Which team did they play?

Answer: New York Islanders

Crosby recorded 3 assists, to lead the Pens to a 6-1 victory over the Islanders, and became the youngest player in NHL history to record 100 points in a season. He was 3 months younger than the previous record-holder Dale Hawerchuk, who scored 100+ pts for the Winnipeg Jets in 1981-82.

8. Sidney Crosby became the youngest player ever to PLAY in an All-Star game after playing in the 2007 game in Dallas, Texas

Answer: False

At 19 years 5 months he was the youngest player ever to START in the All-Star game. He was 6 months younger than the previous record-holder Jaromir Jagr, who started the 1992 All-Star Game.

However, although he was the youngest to start, he was actually only the 9th youngest to PLAY an All-Star Game. The youngest, coincidentally, is his childhood idol Steve Yzerman (at 18 years and 8 months, for the 1984 All-Star Game).

Would he have played in the 2005-06 game had it not been cancelled due to the Olympics? If he did, it would have made him the youngest ever.

9. In the 2007 NHL All-Star SuperSkills Competition, Sidney Crosby led to Eastern Conference to victory by defeating which childhood idol in the 1 on 1 shootout?

Answer: Teemu Selanne

Crosby went 2 for 3 against Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, for a total of 3 for 4 in the entire skills competition. This stat was a dramatic improvement over his 0 for 6 in shootout attempts up to that point in the season.

10. In how many hockey league drafts, junior or professional, has Sidney Crosby been taken first overall?

Answer: 4

He has been drafted first overall a stunning four times, although two of these picks were wasted, as he only suited up for the Oceanic and the Penguins. In chronological order:
Maritime Junior A Hockey League - Antigonish Bulldogs (2002),
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League - Rimouski Oceanic (2003),
World Hockey Association - Toronto Toros (2004),
National Hockey League - Pittsburgh Penguins (2005).
