00:00We will start with Sidney Crosby, who I guess you could say, compared to all the other top

00:09players in the NHL, is taking a pay cut, right, Scotty, $8.7 million per year for the next

00:14few years.

00:15Here he is, telling you why.

00:16The highest paid player, or even go above sort of that value.

00:22I don't know, I just, I think, you know, winning is the most important thing to me, and I think

00:34best possible chance to be successful, and ultimately you gotta go out there and do your

00:40best and do your job, so, you know, I think I'm more focused on that than, you know, than
