Sidney Crosby Nearly Scored The Craziest Goal In NHL History

The level of skill in the NHL is absolutely insane. Andrei Svechnikov was the first to pull off 'The Michigan' goal, also known as the lacrosse goal. Sidney Crosby has just one upped this move, but he was not able to finish. Check it out.

Sid The Kid is back in the highlight reel. New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin would have been subjected to a lifetime of shame if Crosby was able to pull this off. This mutant picked the puck up on his backhand and nearly lifted it into the net. 

Here it is.
