Sidney Crosby wore this blue throwback jersey while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins during the first period of the 2008 Winter Classic at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, NY. It includes the captain's "C." The Penguins defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1, in the shootout. Crosby assisted on the Penguins' regulation goal while wearing this jersey, scored by Colby Armstrong just 21 seconds into the game. Crosby exploded for a career high 84 assists and 120 points to win the Hart Memorial and Art Ross Trophies in 2006-07. After the dust settled, Crosby had scored a total of 222 points (75 goals, 147 assists) in his first 160 games, all before turning 20 years old. Crosby scored 24 goals and 48 assists in an abbreviated 2007-08 season, but he went on to score over 100 points in both 2008-09 and 2009-10. As of the end of the 2021-22 season, Crosby ranked in the top 20 all-time in points among Canadian-born players, with 17 seasons under his belt.
