from Steve Dryden of TSN,

Sidney Crosby is top of the TSN polls for a fifth straight year - reaffirming his status as the best hockey player in the world.

Crosby was the overwhelming choice as the NHL’s No.1 player in balloting by a selection of league general managers and coaches and TSN experts. The Penguins’ captain received 85 per cent of first place votes. Crosby, chosen first overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, has been chosen first overall all five years of the TSN Top 50 Players poll. He was the 2013-14 Art Ross Trophy, Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award winner, marking the second time in his nine-year NHL career he swept the three highest regular season honours.
