Ageless Sidney Crosby is still Canada’s Mythical on Ice

MONTREAL — The U.S. has 1980 and Miracle on Ice.

Canada has No. 87 and Mythical on Ice.

This is the most rarefied status to which Sidney Crosby has climbed.

“Crosby! Crosby! Crosby!” the adoring audience at Bell chanted when the center climbed over the boards just about 5:30 into overtime of Canada’s 4 Nations opener on Wednesday against Sweden.
