PITTSBURGH (AP) -- That's Crosby, with a C.
Sidney Crosby, already the youngest player in NHL history to get 100 points in a season and to win a scoring title, is now the youngest to wear the captain's C on his sweater. The Pittsburgh Penguins gave the 19-year-old Crosby the long-anticipated title Thursday, months after they initially wanted to do so.
At the All-Star break in January, general manager Ray Shero asked Crosby if he wanted to take on the responsibility of being a team captain while still a teenager. With the Penguins streaking at the time, Crosby didn't feel the timing was right. Now, he does.
