Crosby Trying For Rare Triple Crown

Sidney Crosby is in the running for a rare NHL triple. The star Pittsburgh Penguins centre has already won the Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion, and the league announced Tuesday that he's a finalist for the Hart Memorial Trophy as MVP and for the Lester B. Pearson Award as outstanding player in the eyes of his peers.

Only six players can boast of a Ross-Hart-Pearson sweep: Martin St. Louis, Jaromir Jagr, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky (who did it five times), Guy Lafleur and Phil Esposito.
