Crosby was ‘just trying to follow the bouncing puck’ on crazy goal

Sidney Crosby's career highlight reel is already one for the ages, and yet he still finds ways to wow.

The latest "how did he do that?" moment came in Wednesday's win over Montreal, wherein Crosby managed to juggle the puck on his stick in front of the net and bat it past none other than Carey Price.

True to form, Crosby was rather humble when talking about how he managed to pull it off.

"I was just trying to follow the bouncing puck," Crosby said, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "It worked out. It was nice to see one go in."

Watching from the other end of the ice, goalie Casey DeSmith's reaction was more typical of the average fan.

"That was jaw-dropping," DeSmith said. "That’s a world-class player making a world-class play. If that’s not No. 1 on SportsCenter, I don’t know what is. That was one of the cooler things I’ll see."

Don't worry Casey; they noticed.
