Debate whether Crosby is the greatest player ever to wear a Team Canada uniform, but what he's doing at the age of 37 is truly remarkable, says Ken Campbell.

“Sidney Crosby is traveling to Montreal and hopes to play for Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off…” Kaplan reported. “Crosby…is desperate to play in the tournament, sources told ESPN. The Penguins will leave the decision up to Crosby whether or not he participates, and he will take as much time as he can to decide if he's ready, sources told ESPN.”
