Crosby matches Sochi production in 5:31 of World Cup ice time
Breaking: Sidney Crosby remains ridiculous.
No. 87 had himself a Saturday night in Toronto. How good? This good:
With a goal and two assists so far tonight Sidney Crosby has matched his production from the Sochi Olympics in less than two periods.

Here's a little bit more context:
In 5:31 of ice time, Crosby has one goal, two assists, four shots and is a plus-4. He's created at least three turnovers. Not bad.

Yeah, five and a half minutes. Absurd.
Crosby had only a goal and two assists in six games at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Canada won gold, so no one's griping about his production, but after winning the Stanley Cup this spring, he's come into the World Cup hot, to say the least.
The 29-year-old's always loved playing at Air Canada Centre, and with the two-week World Cup taking place in Toronto, that's bad news for the opposition.
Crosby finished with three points as Canada beat the Czech Republic 6-0.
