Crosby is going to win the Rocket

[authentic]

Forsberg simply did not score enough to justify being put over Jagr and Sid. They were regular 35+ goal scorers. Sid likely missed out on a couple 50 goal campaigns in 11 and 12.

Defense, which is not a distinct advantage over Sid, and physicality do not make up for that.

No one is putting him over them. Just saying he was on a similar level and perhaps as good/better at his best, which is an opinion numerous people share by the way.

Showing stats where Jagr outscored him by 30% in points and also excludes two of Jagr's best seasons (94/95 and 95/96) is hardly evidence of Forsberg being "good/better at his best".

Forbserg was clearly a tier below Jagr offensively on a per game basis.

Damn, hope he's alright. Had a stick to the head and a little collision there and went off near the end of the first.

Vesey couldn't outscore Crosby if Vesey was Playing in the AHL.

Good observation

Disgusting isn't it?

 

[Shaftception]

Two games in a row he's injured by illegal (technically) acts that go unpenalized.

But always remember

I don't think the refs love Crosby, he takes a lot of stuff, but they have a deep abiding love for the Pens.

Crosby not out for the start of the 2nd. Undergoing concussion protocol.

all that special treatment...

 

[billcook]

Nothing serious it seems.

Some people haven't watched Sidney Crosby for years and it shows. They don't even know how stupid they sound.

**** any update?

Edit: just checked twitter, back out there.

He's fine now. He's back playing.

Thanks, I just checked there. Good news.

Yup. Cleared testing and returned a few minutes into the period. Two consecutive games he's left under the concussion protocol, though. That's a bit unnerving.

Yeah, the hockey world holds their collective breath hearing Crosby and concussion protocol. Especially two games in a row, seems like last game was more of a neck stinger though thankfully.

21!

Another amazing goal.

 

[StrangeVision]

21, if it counts.

Edit: And it does.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That goal was filthy by Crosby, wow.

 

[authentic]

Brilliant.

 

[Fordy]

how is ovie doing? back to his scoring ways? sid has another, better than any 8 will score this year assuming he does again

 

[Stad]

That was incredible.

It's going to be close to see who hits 1000 points first.

 

[authentic]

He's basically just playing baseball now.
