Sidney Crosby is like Tom Brady — built differently and can play at a high level for as long as he wants
People think Sid's like on his way out. Like you gotta put him in the same category as Tom Brady. Like these guys, they're built differently. They can play for however long they want and put up great numbers. Like he just had his 21st season of over a point a game, which is unheard of.
