Crosby 19th consecutive PPG season

Not sure how me complimenting Crosby while mentioning a player he will literally always be linked with bothers you that much.

Sorry to inform you, but pointing out the irony of your post, doesn’t equate to being bothered.

If Crosby would have stayed healthy in his prime and won an additional 2 seasons worth of trophies, that would propel him firmly into that Orr/Lemieux/Howe tier. Him not having those trophies means his upside is like #5 or #6 overall, with those trophies he would have broken into the top-4.

Is McDavid in that tier then? Cause giving Crosby those trophies would have him roughly equal to the ones McDavids actually won.

There's no irony - if I had slighted Crosby in my post that would have been ironic.

He was 31. The year before (1990-91) he had 163 points in 78 games and 103 EVP. No one was even close to him at even strength in 1991. How good is 103 EVP? It's a number Lemieux never hit and was only on pace to hit twice.

In 1991-92 he dropped to 63 EVP (8th in EVP). It's a massive injury drop off. He publicly contemplated retirement.

The hit functionally removed 0.5 EVP/G from his arsenal.

Wayne was 30 when he got hit from behind by Suter, not 31.
