Man that is a pathetic list outside a couple of names.....and the guy who stands out (Hossa) was only here for 2+ months.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Leclair, Lemieux

Nils Ekman played with Sid, didn't he? I mean, before his arm exploded.

 

[Rico Fatastic]

Didn't Ziggy Palffy play with Crosby for a bit too?

 

[eXile59]

I feel like Ouellet played some games with him. I know on the PP but maybe even strength as well.

 

[eXile59]

I can't remember the last time he's had a big game. Like a 5-6 point big game. He's really been drug down by his wingers and this pre-lockout hockey returning.

Yeah he's had one 4 pt game this year with the hatty against Tampa in October.

I like how consistent he's been, only three times has he gone more than a game without a point.

 

[Fire Shero*]

Good lord that's a sad list. How does Shero GM still have a job? Good grief.

Totally inexcusable after almost 8 years

 

[Ogrezilla]

Sullivan played with Sid when he got back and in the Flyers series, didn't he?

 

[NegativeSpace]

Jarome Iginla...oh wait

 

[66-30-33]

I can't remember the last time he's had a big game. Like a 5-6 point big game. He's really been drug down by his wingers and this pre-lockout hockey returning.

He's also adapting his game to stay healthier longer. Not many scrums or deflections. If he had wingers he'd still put up Crosby points though.

I believe he played more than a few with him...

 

[66-30-33]

Pathetic list, Rays done a much better list on D. If we took Bruins GM we would have a much better list.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I think we're also missing Craig Adams and Tanner Glass

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I we're doing this season, this hurts, they were forgotten

Chuck Kobasew
Beau Bennett (it was so brief)
Joe Vitale
Brandon Sutter
Tanner Glass and Craig Adams get their ****ing looks.

I feel sorry for Crosby now, **** you, Pens.

Colby Armstrong

 

[Mischa]

Sullivan played with Sid when he got back and in the Flyers series, didn't he?

Sullivan-Crosby-Dupuis happened for a bit iirc and before that

Cooke-Crosby-Kennedy

(when he was coming back and Staal was with sullivan and dupuis at first)

 

[AquaticBirdman]

What a wh0re Sid is

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Palffy-Christensen-Crosby

Pure genius by Edzo!

 

[malksby8771]

11 points in his last 7 games, will he get it??

 

[IcedCapp]

I do notice Crosby seems to be coasting a lot more this year than he's usually known for. In years past, he was like an energizer bunny every shift. This year, he has games where he's kind of circling around.

Maybe he's conserving energy for the playoffs. Who knows? But he doesn't seem to consistently bring that high-energy effort every single game like he was known for in the past.

Obviously he's being held to a higher standard when stating the above. The guy's still leading the NHL in scoring by a wide margin. But just in terms of effort level game in-game out, Sid seems less high tempo this year than in other seasons.

1) When's the last time Crosby played 82 games? (never). When's the last time he played 75+? (09-10)

2) Malkin's missed time, Neal's missed time, Dupuis' missed time, Bennett's missed time. Crosby is figuratively carrying this team.

3) Even when Dupuis went down, Bylsma refused to lighten the load on Crosby by giving him Neal (or even Jokinen), instead giving him Vitale, Glass or Gibbons to create the illusion of depth.

4) Until Stempniak came, it had been 2+ months since Crosby played with so much as a top-6 tweener.

5) He plays more minutes than all but one forward in the NHL. His coach never finds a way to give him the easy minutes.

6) 2013-2014 is his highest ATOI/game EVER.

7) This is an Olympic year, and I felt he was dominate for the last 3 games of the Olympics.

I'm not trying to preach or talk down to anyone, but I think there's an abundance of reasoning as to why Crosby would be "coasting" more than normal.

 

[Shrimper]

21 points in 17 games since the break. 1.23 PPG
78 in 58 games before the break. 1.34 PPG

I think the Olympics definitely had an effect somewhat. Of course in the last 7 games he could put on 11 points and end up at 32 in 24 which would be 1.33 PPG.

110 is in his reach.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Personally would rather see him hit 40 goals instead of 110 points. Both would be nice though.

 

[Bengui]

Nice to finally get a full healthy season out of him, even if he's on his worst PPG pace since his rookie season.
