Watch: Crosby bats puck out of mid-air to score NHL-leading 21st
Sidney Crosby: Still ridiculous.
The NHL's top goal-scorer was at it again Monday. After Evgeni Malkin's shot hit the post, Crosby waited for the puck to drop below the crossbar before batting it in past helpless Arizona Coyotes goaltender Louis Domingue.
The slow-motion replay really shows Crosby's brilliance. He's tracking the puck the entire way after it hit the post, knowing he must wait before he swings. Offspeed pitch? No problem.
The goal is Crosby's 21st in 23 games.
For those wondering, Crosby has only knocked pucks out of the air and into the net twice this month. And it's already Dec. 12.

Even more remarkable is the fact the goal came after Crosby was rudely introduced to Martin Hanzal's stick late in the first period.
There's no stopping No. 87.
