#87 Sidney Crosby Milestone Thread - History will be made (1000th assist)

[Bijelo]

Better than former Forsberg of all time!

 

[crosby87]

7 points from another ppg+ season now. Big 7 points in 2 games

 

[Mr Buckles]

He's been on fire lately (10 points in last 5 games).

With 76 points, an upcoming significant milestone will be that he'll be tied for second most 80 point seasons in NHL history, with 13 (trailing only Gretzky with 17).

 

[Rodgerwilco]

6 points in 11 games should be more than do-able for him especially if he can get another 3+ pointer.

I feel bad for the guy at this point. Still playing at a pretty dang high level, but getting let down by the piss-poor team around him.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

7 points in 2 games, but we should still trade him because some jackhole from Ontario who got punched in the face for a living and "knew him for all these years, and by that I mean 13 games" said so.

He is part at fault honestly. The coach is the biggest issue with the team and Sid keeps going to bat for him.

Piss poor PP and OT. They dont even practice OT either. They would be in a playoff spot if they were average at both.

I love Sid but he needs to push sullivan out the door if he wants any semblance of a competitive team next year.

 

[Beau Knows]

Closing in on 1000 assists.

Grand scheme of things, he's done pretty well. I know there has been mountains of chats over the years about pace and missed games, what ifs, etc....but the actual stats have him currently with more points than anyone in the history of the game other than 11 guys (perhaps only 9 guys 3 weeks from now and perhaps only 4-5 guys by the time he retires....these are actual points, not what ifs.

Also, not to say he'd be ahead of everyone had he played in a different era, but every single one of those guys ahead of him on the all-time scoring list played in a higher scoring era (Jagr being very close to the same). And....OV is very close behind him as well.

 

[Lomez]

Closing in on 1000 assists.

Yes, but everyone knows that all of them, literally, are secondary.

Yes, but everyone knows that all of them, literally, are secondary.

On the power play. So they should count for minus points.

 

[nowhereman]

On the power play. So they should count for minus points.

And each of them assisted by Malkin, who has carried Crosby all of his career – the only elite PP linemate in the NHL.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Ridiculous to think that Crosby at 36 is leading a line (with Guentzel around) that was as follows:

4th in XGoals per 60

Up there still with some of the best in the league.

 

[Dominance]

On the power play. So they should count for minus points.

Already 8th all time in EVP. Will indubitably finish at least 5th.

 

[MeinerEiner]

I don’t think the secondary empty net goal count

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I don’t think the secondary empty net goal count

Only if you have enough hits to offset them.

 

[66-30-33]

5 away from 1,000 assists in his career now.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

11th all-time in points tonight, passing Ray Bourque.

 

[Dessloch]

 

[Shrimper]

4 points from another historic season. Wonder if he gets the 5 assists in the remaining 10 games for his 1000th?

 

[Praetorian Caps]

By sheer coincidence this showed up in my YouTube feed. Sid The Kid is an all time great.

 

[Shrimper]

Another assist, early on against the Rangers. 3 tto go I think for 1000 assists

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

1 more pt to secure his 19th straight ppg season. Incredible

 

[Dominance]

7th in the league in even strength points at age 36. Only 19 PPP. Easily scoring 100+ with a half-competent powerplay unit. Incredible.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

82pts

15pts in the last 6 games
