2017 Stanley Cup Final: Sidney Crosby dekes Predators goalie into oblivion for fantastic Game 4 goal

Crosby gets the early highlight in Game 4.

It was only a matter of time until the Pittsburgh Penguins captain made fans leap to their feet in the Stanley Cup Final.

And it couldn’t have come at a better time. With the Penguins down 1-0 in the first period of Game 4, a neutral zone turnover and a quick outlet pass gave Sidney Crosby a breakaway against Predators goalie Pekka Rinne.

He sank it.

That goal was Crosby’s seventh of the playoffs. Oh, and his FIRST STANLEY CUP FINAL GOAL IN EIGHT YEARS.

As in, he didn’t even score any last season. What a momentous occasion.
