Athletistic / Hockey. Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby responded to a question about his possible retirement. The Canadian has played in the NHL since 2005.

“Everyone wants to play at the highest level for as long as possible. But there are many factors that come into play. Even if you give 100%, you can only hope that you can continue to have an impact on your team’s performance .The player has his own idea of ​​what he wants to achieve, especially over the years.

Malkin said he didn’t want to become a “regular player”? I don’t know if it is possible to predict in advance your attitude to such a role. You might be able to take it in stride and be happy to keep playing. But I am used to being on the field in the last minute of the match and influencing the outcome of the team’s match by the majority. However, I won’t know what it’s like until I experience it myself.

I will always do my best. When I stop, I’ll finish hockey. If desire leaves the game, these hockey players no longer benefit the team. Let’s see what else I can achieve while playing with the same zeal, ”Crosby said according to the press service of the NHL.

Sidney Crosby was selected first overall in the NHL draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins. With the Penguins, he became a three-time Stanley Cup winner.
