NHL - The Evolution of Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins - ESPN
"In my experience, hockey players are great teammates and are going to help another hockey player when they need it," Buffalo Sabres netminder Ryan Miller, whom Crosby worked out with in California in the offseason, told ESPN.com via email. "Given the situation, it was important for all of us to train together, negotiate together and be a teammate in the sense that we are all just hockey players at the heart of this. I thought Sid did a really great job of understanding that he was needed and he could be a good 'teammate' by representing the players.
"He was firmly on the players' side, and he was able to communicate calmly within the NHLPA and with the media about the lockout. Smart and well spoken, but everyone knows that. It isn't easy to be called upon by your team, the league, your union, your sponsors, the fans, the media, your friends and family to always have the right perspective and say something useful, and he does it very well."
