Crosby named NHL All-Star Game MVP

If hockey fans learned anything during Saturday night's NHL All-Star Game, it's that Sidney Crosby is nowhere near finished.

The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar picked up his first All-Star Game MVP award Saturday, tallying eight points over two games en route to leading the Metropolitan Division to victory in the four-team tournament.

Despite his league-wide dominance over the last 14 seasons, Crosby has been selected to just eight All-Star teams - mostly due to bad luck. Concussion issues plagued the star early in his career, while the NHL lockout in 2013 and the Winter Olympic Games in both 2010 and 2014 marked years with no All-Star Game at all.

With another piece of hardware under his belt, the 31-year-old has added to a laundry list of accomplishments that is unmatched by most.

From the moment he hit the ice on Friday night, Crosby was showered with boos from the San Jose crowd. In 2016, he lifted his second of three Stanley Cups at the SAP Center after defeating the Sharks in six games.

Crosby will be taking home more than just the hardware. The All-Star Game MVP is also rewarded with a new Honda vehicle.
