A Colorado writer inevitably asked Sidney Crosby about the idea of him playing for the Avalanche this morning. The question was phrased in a way that asked Crosby if he was aware how many Avalanche fans loved seeing him play with Nathan MacKinnon at 4 Nations and would love to see them playing together again here.
Crosby, who has said countless times that he remains committed to the Penguins and is getting pretty annoyed at the constant and baseless trade proposal speculation, totally side-stepped the question and intentionally missed the point. Actually funny.
"It was great hockey," he said. "I'm sure there's a lot of hypotheticals out there. Just from being part of (4 Nations), that hockey, that was some special hockey. People got excited seeing everyone together like that."
