TSN Analyst Shares His Thoughts on Jon Cooper's Controversial Comments on Sidney Crosby
Jon Cooper recently commented on Sidney Crosby being the greatest to represent Canada, and a TSN analyst has weighed in on this supposed controversy.
In Canada's first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off, Crosby again displayed his leadership capabilities by racking up three points, one of which was a setup for Mitch Marner's winning goal in overtime that helped Canada win 4-3 over Sweden.
Following Canada's win over Sweden on Wednesday, coach Jon Cooper praised Sidney Crosby, hailing him as the "greatest player," which led to controversy on social media.

According to Cooper, Crosby is on his way to becoming the greatest Canadian to ever wear a national jersey, even surpassing legends Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.

The next day, TSN's Frankie Corrado weighed in on the coach's remark. Corrado agreed with the coach's comments, pointing to Crosby's outstanding performance in high-profile tournaments such as World Juniors, Olympics, World Cup of Hockey, and Men's World Championships.
He explained that not only did Crosby compete in these tournaments, he also won each time.
"And I think John Cooper is certainly on to something when he says that."

Along with his achievements, Corrado praised Crosby's leadership qualities, calm demeanor, and respect in which he is held by his team. Crosby and Team Canada face their next game on Saturday against the USA.
