But they are not gone! Sid was on pace for over 130 points. Do you think him as equal with the great one or Mario Lemieux? Hell no! Someday there might be a player that is there with Wayne and Mario but right now there is none in the NHL.
Sidney Crosby is as good as it gets at the moment.
A pace means nothing. Crosby still has time left on the season.
Last year Ovechkin played at a 1.67 PPG pace for more than 2/3 of the season but then finished with 1.51 PPG.
Crosby was on a hot streak. 130 Pts though is not 150 Pts, is it?
Why do Greztky and Lemieux have to beat Crosby by 60 Pts.
Beating someone by 20-30 Pts in the scoring race is still very impressive.
I know adjusted points don't tell the whole story but just look at Jagr's 1998-99 127 Pts season.
He won the Art Ross by 20 Pts. Adjusted those totals become 163 Pts.
The game has changed.
So if Gretzky or Lemieux beat Crosby by 30-40 Pts it still means that Corsby is nowhere near them.
