WATCH: Sidney Crosby's sublime assist in Pittsburgh Penguins' 3-1 win over San Jose Sharks

Sidney Crosby just reminded everyone why he is one of the best players in the sport of hockey.At the 11-minute mark of the second period, Crosby took the puck down the left side and was maneuvering behind the net when he flicked a pass to Jake Guentzel. The entire Sharks' defense was fooled into thinking that Crosby would go around the goal and to the other side, but the veteran outsmarted them.NHL Twitter went bonkers at Crosby's assist and had some great reactions,Hockey Daily 365 l NHL Highlights@HockeyDaily365What a pass by Sidney Crosby on Guentzel's goal#LetsGoPens387What a pass by Sidney Crosby on Guentzel's goal#LetsGoPens https://t.co/UfTZuXBPX8Pittsburgh Penguins@penguinsAlso, can we please talk about this pass from Sidney Crosby? 🤯14912Also, can we please talk about this pass from Sidney Crosby? 🤯Rachel Lenzi 💁🏻&zwj;♀️😎@rachelmlenziNot sure what was better about this play, the goal by Jake Guentzel or the setup pass by Sidney Crosby. #LetsGoPens 2Not sure what was better about this play, the goal by Jake Guentzel or the setup pass by Sidney Crosby. #LetsGoPens https://t.co/3Ftmkd9fFw&quot;Not sure what was better about this play, the goal by Jake Guentzel or the setup pass by Sidney Crosby. #LetsGoPens&quot; tweeted rachelmlenzi6Lombardis #BLM@stevemarascoSidney Crosby is good at hockey.3Sidney Crosby is good at hockey.brady spencer@bspencer14Sidney Crosby will always be in my opinion the greatest hockey player to ever live.Sidney Crosby will always be in my opinion the greatest hockey player to ever live.&quot;Sidney Crosby will always be in my opinion the greatest hockey player to ever live.&quot; bspencer14PARTY HARD!@Yinzermania@penguins sidney crosby is so good at hockey1@penguins sidney crosby is so good at hockeyBryanC9@Bryan_C9Sidney Crosby, smh what a passSidney Crosby, smh what a passDanny Shirey@DannyShireyPGHThe Penguins have taken a 2-0 lead.
