We'll have to debate that one: Crosby doesn't turn 30 until 8/7/17.
With the destiny of the Stanley Cup in the balance, a determined Crosby delivered a dominating performance right from the opening shift, when he rang a shot off the post while being pulled down to the ice by a Predators defenseman. That team, of course, went one round deeper into the playoffs falling in the second round to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His sliding save against a shot from ex-Pittsburgh winger James Neal kept the two sides scoreless entering the second. After capturing the hearts of Nashville's country music stars and tens of thousands more in and around Music City, Nashville's season ended at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-0 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Carl Hagelin (HAG'-lihn) sealed the win by scoring into an empty net with 14 seconds left.
"All playoffs long we got better as each series went on", he added.
Fleury backstopped the Penguins to nine of the 16 wins for the Cup.
The expansion Vegas Golden Knights, at 200-1, are the biggest longshots to win next year's Stanley Cup. It was a feat Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy and Cam Ward could not accomplish - and Murray closed it out with back-to-back shutouts.
This championship season for the Penguins lacked some of the drama from a year ago, but it was far from a slam dunk. The Penguins won the first two games at home, and then the Predators won the next two games at home.
"My heart rate is still pretty high from the game".
Now, for many fans, the first step after a championship win is to hop online and immediately search for all of the new gear to celebrate the win.

He said UNRWA will seal the tunnel, which was discovered while the schools were empty during the summer holiday. UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness said the agency's future could not be decided unilaterally.
Pittsburgh became the first team to repeat as Stanley Cup champions since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98. He finished with a 7-3 record and allowed 19 goals in 11 games.
After the game Murray got emotional talking about Fleury and the journey they have had together.
It turned out the referee was in a bad position to see the puck and blew his whistle when he lost sight of the puck. Filip Forsberg took a shot that Murray stopped, but the puck rolled loose to Murray's left.
Sissons, later in the second period got another chance at goal. The Predators look to extend this series for all the marbles to one more game in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
A little good fortune also benefited Murray, particularly on Sunday night when Nashville was counting on goalie Pekka Rinne to be his usual dominating self at home.
The selection was made by the Professional Hockey Writers Association after the series reached its conclusion Sunday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Penguins did it again. "He lived with us for eight years and now he lives a couple of blocks down the road".
