Hyman even basically said it was nothing new to them
I saw him the last 15 seconds of game 7 in front of the net while his teammates were in the corner trying to get the puck the Panthers were eating. “Digging in” if you will . If they were successful digging in, and getting him the puck, he was ready to be the hero
When I think of a leader, I don’t remember who it was, but it was one of Crosby’s wingers, talking about how awesome he was to play with . He said Crosby told him, about zone entries, paraphrasing “enter the zone with speed, I’ll make sure you’re not offside”.
Crosby is all about making the players around him better. And he’s got a few cups to show for it

Exactly this! Anyone can yell at his teammates, doesn’t make him a leader. Is anyone actually listening?
This was also game 2 by all accounts. Game 3 after 2 periods….the Oilers down 4-1 and McDavid a -1 and 0 pts. Really followed up that tantrum by leading by example. Gets 2 assists in the 3rd to make the game close and improve his stat line. Top 2 stars of the game go to the Panthers, 3rd star is Broberg, now a St Louis Blue.
