SIDNEY CROSBYCaptain, Pittsburgh Penguins

Often he'll make a comment or I'll make a comment, and we'll kind of nod. Sometimes we don't even have to speak. We just look at each other and we know what we're trying to do. That's over 10 years working together and getting to know someone really well. I really respect him.

AUSTON MATTHEWSForward, Toronto Maple Leafs

It’s amazing how Darryl teaches how shooting is all lower body. That’s what he looks at first, just
