Beginning of Story Content
Sidney Crosby doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, but he showed off a sixth sense on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.The Pittsburgh Penguins sniper demonstrated his passing skills with a nifty behind-the-back feed to teammate Pascal Dupuis during the third period of his team's 3-1 win over Toronto.
With the Penguins down 1-0, the Cole Harbour, N.S. native took a pass from Chris Kunitz, and as soon as the puck hit his stick, it was on its way to Dupuis. Crosby didn't even have to turn his body around to find his teammate, who converted for the game-tying goal.
