Sidney Crosby opens up about the Golden Goal, 10 years later

Feb 28, 2020 (x)

LOS ANGELES — Sidney Crosby is capable of so many wonderful things, on and off of the hockey rink, that seeing him struggle with anything is almost curious. One thing Crosby has never mastered is the ability to be introspective. Maybe he’s no good at it, or perhaps he’s too humble to ponder his considerable greatness.

Some occasions are more poignant than others, however. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Golden Goal, when Crosby beat Team USA in the Olympic overtime classic in Vancouver, triggering Canada’s golden era of international hockey while subsequently keeping American hockey from toppling its biggest rival.

Crosby let down his guard on the subject of his most famous goal in an interview with The Athletic following Penguins’ practice Thursday in Los Angeles. One thing is quite clear: Crosby is well aware of the importance of that goal.

“I remember the stories I was told,” he said. “In terms of goals that I’ve scored or moments that I’ve had, yeah, it was the biggest one. The reaction around Vancouver and around Canada, it’s something I’ll never forget. What I remember most is all these stories from buddies of mine, friends of mine, people in the community. Just so many different people that I’ve met. So many people have told me where they were when they were watching and when the goal went in. It was so cool at the moment it happened, to be a part of it, and to experience it. And I’ve heard all of these stories. I actually really like hearing them from people.”

As fate would have it, Crosby’s Penguins will take on Ryan Miller’s Anaheim Ducks tonight at Honda Center. A decade ago, they met in one of the most famous games in hockey history. Miller was named tournament MVP for backstopping upstart Team USA to overtime of the Gold Medal Game, but it was Crosby who had the last laugh, receiving a pass from Jarome Iginla and quickly whipping a shot between Miller’s legs.

The pressure To understand the pressure that Crosby felt that day is to understand what hockey means to most Canadians. It is their sport. The Olympics provided their stage and also the ultimate opportunity for the United States. Canada has had many challengers over the years, and one could argue Russia was the head of the hockey world during the Red Army’s reign.

Canada, though, has been the king of the hockey world for a while. By 2010, the Americans were making a legitimate push to take the crown. Young stars like Kane, Parise and Phil Kessel were pushing American hockey to new heights and, earlier in the Olympics, Team USA beat Canada, causing national unrest north of the border.

“That team was good,” Crosby said. “Really, really good.”

Crosby was 22 and fresh off of leading the Penguins to a championship in 2009. At the time, there was almost an invincible, preordained feeling around Crosby. He had lived up to the hype, and then some. He was the world’s best hockey player, already a Stanley Cup winner. The concussion drama that would torture him was still a year into the future. Canada couldn’t lose, many theorized, because Crosby wouldn’t allow it to happen.

Team Canada then lost to Team USA and looked mediocre at times during the fortnight. Crosby failed to dominate in the Olympics the way many had expected and endured trouble clicking with any linemates. The pressure mounted on him the more he failed to produce flashy numbers.

“It was real pressure, too,” said Crosby’s agent and friend, Pat Brisson. “Very real.”

So, how did Crosby deal with it?

“I’ve known Sidney since he was 13, 14 years old,” Brisson said. “Here’s the thing about him: He wants pressure. He wants things to be difficult. The more pressure there is and the higher degree of difficulty there is, the better he plays. Since the time he was a boy, there’s always been an expectation that he’s supposed to be the best and that he’s supposed to produce more team success than other players.”

Even for someone who thrives under pressure, this was a different variety of mental demand.

Did he rely on Brisson? His parents? His friends?

Not really, as it turns out.

“Well, it was a lot of pressure,” Crosby said. “It was for sure. It was my first time playing in the Olympics. When you’re a hockey player, it’s a big deal. When you’re a hockey player from Canada and the Olympics are in Canada, it’s a much bigger deal because you know that, even if you play in more Olympics, you’re never going to play in the Olympics in Canada again. This was it. This was the chance to win it all on Canadian soil. Because of that, yeah, there absolutely was a different kind of pressure and I did feel it.”

Crosby didn’t succumb to it, nor did he reach out to anyone during this time. Instead, he kept it all inside. It was by design.

“I grew up with pressure from the time I was young because of the expectations I was dealing with,” he said. “Those people (Brisson along with parents Troy and Trina) were always there to support me, honestly. And I appreciated it. But it was something I needed to go through on my own. I needed to learn. I had already been to the Cup final twice and won it the second time. That was very helpful. But this was a different kind of pressure.”

The people closest to Crosby were there if he needed to chat, or to vent, or to listen to advice.

“And he knew that,” Brisson said. “But he wanted to learn how to deal with all of that pressure on his own. That was a big thing for him. He had seen a lot for 22, but he was still only 22. But he just wanted to learn to deal with it all by himself. You know, he has ice water in his veins. He always has. That pressure is what makes him tick. The harder something is, the more challenging it becomes, it gives him more juice. It gives him more fuel. Dealing with pressure, and thriving from pressure, is in his DNA.”

Marc-Andre Fleury was a backup goalie for Team Canada during that tournament.

“When the games get bigger and when there is lots of pressure, Sid always has a way of coming through,” Fleury said. “Even then.”

The goal Crosby broke down the play in great detail. He had just taken the ice and initially attempted to break through the American defense during the four-on-four action to no avail. It wasn’t a great overtime for Crosby initially, as he twice turned the puck over in the early going. Everything changed on his final shift, though. He located Iginla along the boards and belted out the iconic “Iggy” demand that saw the pass delivered to Crosby, who was 22 at the time.

Shooting the puck, as it turns out, was not Crosby’s immediate plan.

“For a second,” he said, “I actually thought about taking the puck to the net and going to the backhand. That was my first thought.”

This makes perfect sense. No one uses his backhand more than Crosby, especially in big moments. It’s his comfort move. However, Zach Parise, who had tied the game late in the third period to force overtime, was in defensive position in the slot. Crosby saw this out of the corner of his eye and didn’t have an opening to cut toward the net on his backhand side.

“At that point, I had to tell myself that it was overtime,” Crosby said. “In that situation, you really don’t want to pass up an opportunity. And I figured that, since I didn’t really have a great angle there, my best chance was probably to get the puck away as quickly as I could. Honestly, it was pretty much a reaction. It’s not like I was picking a spot or anything like that. I really wasn’t. I just thought the key for me was to get the shot off as quickly as I possibly could.”

Brisson was sitting directly behind the net where the goal was scored.

“I’ll never forget where I was,” Brisson said. “I’m Canadian. But I’ve also worked in the U.S. for a long time. I had friends and clients on both teams. Sid. Jonathan Toews. Patrick Kane. So, there were so many mixed feelings. But being that the game was on Canadian soil, I really thought it made so much sense for Canada to win. I was hoping for that. You didn’t want to miss that moment when the goal was scored, no matter who scored it, because you knew it would go down as a famous moment. It was a very special ending and it was only fitting that Sid was the person who got the goal.”

It is easily one of the most famous goals in hockey history. Young and old, everyone has something special to say about it.

“It was quite the celebration,” said Patrick Marleau, Crosby’s new teammate. “We all flew off the bench. It was quite a celebration in Canada.”

The brewing rivalry USA Hockey remains a legitimate power in international hockey and young players such as Auston Matthews and Jack Eichel have only served to give the United States a new wave of talent.

The Golden Goal served as a plateau for USA Hockey, though. It also catapulted Canada to a different stratosphere of dominance. The Canadians would go on to win the 2014 Olympics on Russian soil with Crosby serving as captain. Then, in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey in Toronto, Crosby was easily the tournament’s dominant figure and rightfully voted tournament MVP as Canada again emerged with a championship.

Had Crosby not scored the Golden Goal, one can’t imagine how that may have changed things for Team Canada and Team USA. Crosby, whose competitiveness is the stuff of legend, used a defeat from years earlier as inspiration.

“When I was 16, we lost to the Americans in the world junior championship game,” he said, referencing the 2004 tournament. “And it all felt so similar. We were the favorite and were dealing with a lot of pressure. We took the lead. Then they came back and beat us. So, it all felt very familiar and I remember thinking about it.”

Crosby acknowledges that the historical ramifications of the game weren’t at the forefront in his mind.

“It really didn’t occur to me at the time,” he said. “I was just happy we won the game, to be honest. The United States was so good and it took everything that we had to beat them. That’s all I was thinking about. Not until later do you sit back and think about other stuff.”

The legacy Crosby is 32 now, a decade removed from being the precocious superstars who, on that Sunday afternoon in Vancouver, appeared about as invincible as a hockey player can be. Since then, much has changed. Crosby nearly lost his career to concussions and then saw his Penguins endure a series of frustrating postseason losses.

The aura of invincibility was gone.

Then came two more Stanley Cups and his sensational performance at the World Cup of Hockey. Crosby remains the world’s most famous player and arguably its best. The phenom now is revered for his ability to dominate into his 30s.

One thing hasn’t changed: Crosby still wants more Olympic glory. NHL players weren’t permitted to play in the 2018 Olympics as Gary Bettman remains quite opposed to his players participating in the Olympics. Crosby isn’t the outspoken type, but he’s not happy about the controversy that has kept NHL players from the Olympics. He knows only so many chances remain.

“Definitely I’d like to play in them again,” he said. “Any opportunity to play in the Olympics, no matter where they’re being held, is always going to be a big deal for me. It’s an unbelievable opportunity. We all enjoy that opportunity. Everyone wants to play on that stage.”

Brisson is hopeful his most famous client will get one more opportunity to earn his third gold medal.

“Sid and I talk about this all the time,” Brisson said. “The players all want to go, and Sid is no different than anyone else. It’s great for the NHL. The players want it. And you know what? Most of the owners do, too. As long as the IOC takes care of things financially, of course the players want to go. It’s no different than if you were running ‘Cirque du Soleil.’ If your artists and architects are willing to perform in China, isn’t that a good thing for Cirque du Soleil? It’s not different, and Sid wants to be there again.”

Few artists in the game’s history can paint a magical scene quite like Crosby. Maybe he’ll get his chance to return to the Olympics one last night. He’ll have a difficult time producing the magic of 10 years ago today.

“It was a special time in my life,” Crosby said.

SAY HELLO TO THE HALL

There will be a particularly Canadian flavor when the Class of 2020 is drafted into the Hockey Lobby of Popularity on Monday night.

Very nearly 17 months after they were first reported (the enlistment function was delayed by a year because of the Coronavirus pandemic), six legends will have their spot among the game's immortals in midtown Toronto.

Of the sextet who will be regarded, five have associations with Hockey Canada - Ken Holland, Jarome Iginla, Kevin Lowe, Kim St-Pierre and Doug Wilson. (The 6th individual from the gathering is Slovak champion Marian Hossa.)

Before they procure hockey's most elevated honor, we should investigate the five Canadians.

KEN HOLLAND

The solitary individual from the gathering not to address Canada as a player, Holland has been a successive donor in the meeting room throughout the course of recent years.

Most popular as a three-time Stanley Cup champion as senior supervisor of the Detroit Red Wings, the Penticton, B.C., local initially joined the Group Canada staff as colleague head supervisor at the 2005 IIHF Big showdown, where Canada won silver.

He was senior supervisor at the 2006 universes and won gold decorations at the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Winter Games, as well as a World Cup of Hockey title in 2016. He is back again as a component of the staff with Canada's Men's Olympic Group for the 2022 Games in Beijing.

The Statement: "what I advanced most from Kenny was tied in with recruiting great individuals. He allows them to finish the work and I do, as well. At the point when you get into these [GM] positions, you assume you know everything and can do everything, except in the event that the chief recruits great individuals and allows them to finish the work, that is ideal.

JAROME IGINLA

Iginla remained on the platform wherever he went with Group Canada - at the 1994 La Copa Mexico (summer under-18), 1996 IIHF World Junior Title, 1997 IIHF Big showdown, 2002 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games and 2004 World Cup of Hockey.

The St. Albert, Alta., local kept 44 focuses in 47 games across seven worldwide appearances, yet it is the 44th - his nineteenth and last help - that will long have a spot in Canadian hockey legend.

The shouts of "Iggy! Iggy!" came only seconds before Sidney Crosby took a pass from Iginla and slipped a shot five-opening on U.S. goaltender Ryan Mill operator, giving Canada a notable home-ice Olympic gold in Vancouver and adding the last part of a noteworthy worldwide prize case.

He generally appeared to be at his best on the game's greatest stage; notwithstanding his partner on the Brilliant Objective in 2010, Iginla kept two objectives and an aid the 2002 Olympic gold decoration game, assisting Canada with finishing a 50-year dry season.

However, his most notable international achievements were from the snow. Lowe played on Canada’s team management at 4 consecutive Olympic Winter Games, winning gold medals in 2002, 2010, and 2014, as a second-in-command to the executive director Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman.

He also served in a similar position in the year Canada took home in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and also designed Canada’s entry to the 2012 IIHF World Championship as general manager.

It’s the Quote “One aspect that distinguished Kim from her peers was her ability to sort of play with the lines between confidence and cockiness. If you played with Kim, you were certain that she’d achieve every save. If you were playing with her each save look effortless.” — Caroline Ouellette (NHL.com)

Doug Wilson made just a one appearance on his time in the Maple Leaf during his 16-year playing career. He was paired with Lowe on the blue-line during The 1984 Canada Cup.

The Ottawa player was involved outside of his playing days. He was employed as a consultant to the Canadian National Junior Team during its streak of five gold medals in a row during the IIHF World Junior Championship in the mid-1990s. Later, he was as a consultant for Canada’s men’s Olympic Team in 1998 Games.

“The Quote” “He played with an exceptional hockey intelligence. He was able to see the game and could read the game. If you played the same way today’s game is now played then you can see the numbers he posted and then, he’d have more numbers than he did then.” -Darryl Sutter Darryl Sutter (NHL.com)
