Crosby Hands the Torch to Celebrini at Worlds

The World Championship storyline carries a symbolic edge here, with Sidney Crosby and Macklin Celebrini framed as two different eras touching in the same tournament. That kind of transition does not happen often, and when it does, the hockey world notices. The older star brings the standard, the younger one brings the future, and the meeting point tells you a lot about where the game is headed.
