Adding to the anticipation, Penguins reporter Rob Rossi has made an unusual bet with Crosby, offering to donate to a charity of Crosby's choice if he can successfully score a one-time backhander during the game. In a tweet, Rossi confessed to making the wager and expressed his confidence in Crosby's ability to pull it off.
"I may have bet Sidney Crosby that he can't one-time a backhander to score in a game. OK, I did. If he does, I'll donate to a charity of his choice. He's gonna do it, isn't he? Worth it. That would be something to see," Rossi tweeted.
It remains unclear how much money Rossi will donate or how long the bet will last, but it has certainly added an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming game. Fans of the Penguins, and Crosby in particular, will be watching closely to see if the superstar can pull off this impressive feat and raise money for a worthy cause in the process.
