Sidney Crosby was stewing after each of the first two periods in Game 2 of the World Cup of Hockey finals. Crosby set up Patrice Bergeron's game-tying goal with 2:53 left in the third period on a power play that paved the way for Brad Marchand's short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds remaining to be the winner, lifting Canada to a 2-1 victory over Team Europe and the World Cup of Hockey title Thursday night. The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar was voted MVP of the best-on-best tournament, with a World Cup-high 10 points, just three months after winning his second Stanley Cup and earning the Conn Smythe as MVP of the playoffs.
