Sidney Crosby’s last minute addition to Team Canada has been a treat for hockey fans. Today (May 1, 2015) he scored on a penalty shot with 23 seconds left in regulation time to top off a 6-1 win for Canada over Latvia in the opening game at the world hockey championship for both teams in Prague. Crosby got the call this week following the Pittsburgh Penguins’ first-round playoff loss. He also got an assist today and welded a potent line with Nathan MacKinnon and Jason Spezza. “It was pretty good,” said Crosby, who returns to the world tourney after nine years. “We skated well and generated some good chances.” Spezza led the attack with two goals and an assist and was named player of the game for Canada.
