Crosby Sees A Little Of Himself In Celebrini

Sidney Crosby does not hand out comparisons like they are souvenir pucks, so when he sees his own fire in Macklin Celebrini, people notice. The story has the feel of a passing-of-the-torch moment, even if nobody in the room is saying that out loud. Celebrini has the kind of profile that draws veteran eyes because the league is always hunting for the next driver of the bus. When Crosby talks about a young player like this, the hockey world tends to lean in and listen.
