If the 4 Nations Face-Off was supposed to be a gimmick, no one told Sidney Crosby! Patrick and Hunter begin the show discussing what an absolute hit the 4 Nations Face-Off was in just its first game. They talk about getting to see Mario Lemieux, how much Montreal loves Sidney Crosby, and how the players do truly care about international competition. Then, after getting themselves hyped up over the atmosphere of the opening game, they talk about the game itself and how Crosby once again elevated his play for Team Canada, recording three assists and being named the first star of the game. Finally, keeping the praise for Sidney Crosby going, the QMJHL has officially named its Rookie of the Year Award the Sidney Crosby Trophy.
