Sidney Crosby scored the goal of night, until a few hours later when Connor McDavid did

Andy DevlinEven though he's entering the end of his prime, you could still make the case that Sidney Crosby is currently the best hockey player in the world. If not, he's a close second to Connor McDavid, who is 10 years his junior. Both Crosby and McDavid looked like the best players in the world on Wednesday night, so we'll just call it a tie.

Perhaps there is another path back to the show for Jagr, who has stated in the past that is goal was to play in the NHL until he was 50, and even beyond. If he were to take on the role of enforcer, which, as we know, is a dying position in the league, maybe he could be of assistance to a club. Unlike Milan Lucic, he'd be an enforcer that could occasionally score once in awhile.
