Sidney Crosby said it was hard watching other teams play. He called it a bad feeling to go home early again, and the Penguins tried, but it wasn’t enough."It’s tough when you’re cleaning out your locker and your place, and all you’re thinking about is how much fun it is to play in the playoffs," Crosby said at the end of the regular season, per NHL.com on July 12. "How important it is and all the work everyone puts in to try to achieve it. It’s not a good feeling when other teams are still playing and you’re going home."Still, Crosby had a great season, in which he scored 91 points in 80 games at age 37. It was his third straight season with 90 points. He became the first player with 20 seasons averaging at least one point per game. He passed Wayne Gretzky for that record. Crosby also reached 1,600 career points and 600 goals.For now, Sidney Crosby just wants to win again.
