Forward Sidney Crosby is dominant again. He wasn't 17 months ago, when he needed to find a way to get that winning feeling back. Crosby was genuinely miserable after the Pittsburgh Penguins' five-game series dud against the New York Rangers in the 2015 Eastern Conference First Round. That came less than 12 months after the Penguins blew a 3-1 series lead and lost to the Rangers in the second round. Crosby also was jolted by a coaching change that led to a style change in Pittsburgh. So he decided to play for Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Championship in Prague, because he always wins when he plays for Canada. Everything changed there. Crosby hasn't stopped winning since. Crosby has won gold at the World Championship, the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy in the 17 months since the Penguins lost to the Rangers for the second straight spring, and is one victory away from leading Team Canada to the championship in the World Cup of Hockey 2016 championship. Team Canada can win the World Cup by defeating Team Europe in the second game of the best-of-3 final at Air Canada Centre on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN2, CBC, TVA, TVA Sports). - See more at: https://www.wch2016.com/news/sidney-crosby-has-canada-one-win-from-world-cup-title/c-282211860
