PITTSBURGH — Colby Armstrong only saw Sidney Crosby once this summer, but the interaction was a memorable one. And telling. It occurred at Brayden Schenn's wedding, as Armstrong and Crosby flew to Banff, Alberta, for the festivities set in the Canadian Rockies.
After meeting a couple of Armstrong's buddies, former NHLers Tyler Bozak and Wade Redden, Crosby made a comment about how many people Armstrong got to know while playing for four teams before transitioning into his current role as a broadcaster for Pittsburgh's AT&T SportsNet and Sportsnet in Canada.
"I'm like, 'I know, man,' " Armstrong told me by phone this week, relaying his conversation with Crosby during the Blues center's big day. "'You've had the luxury of being in one place. You haven't gotten to stretch out and meet guys from all over who are really great people.' "
