‘Pure dominance’: Hockey world reacts to Sidney Crosby’s 500th NHL goal

The hockey world rejoiced for Sid the Kid’s milestone, so here are some of the reactions from Twitter.

The entire Penguins team left the bench to go congratulate Sidney Crosby after he scored No. 500. I've never seen anything like that. Just a testament to their closeness and how highly they think of their captain.
