Crosby's training methods are far more advanced than anything I saw in this article and are a major factor in why he is so good, I have seen his training with my own eyes and do not base this on hearsay. I can't wait for you to twist this into an argument though.
You may want to reread the bolded sentence more carefully. Or read up on what types of resistance training work slow twitch / type I muscle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_twitch_muscle). (Or what high intensity [what Iginla does] training works).
