The Newest, Most Official Sidney Crosby Thread

[Cole Caulifield]

Before WJC : 2.1 pts/game
After WJC : 3.4 pts/game

At the rate he's going right now, he should beat his 16 years old season.

It counts i don't care what they say and so did neely's.

 

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

wow 2 goals and 3 primary assists after a rough game... That's what I call a great rebound after a so-so game.

 

[ZombieMatt]

So uh, when was the last time a guy scored 50 in his first 50 games of the season?

And when was the last time a 17 year old did that?

 

[Egghammer]

Anyone know how many games it took Lemieux to get 50 in his last Junior season when he had 133 goals and 149 assists?

 

[Tb0ne]

If Crosby continues his Post WJC pace he'll have about 156 points (9 games left?).

50 goals in 27 games....god damn it Mario Lemieux is amazing.

 

[King Fish]

Man your a fricking a**hole....all you post are negative about Crosby, didn't he sign an autograph for you and your pissed at him.

Wow! I got a warning for telling someone to eat cheese. Good luck.

 

[gangstajerome]

its hard to know exactyl how much abuse sidney gets from the camera footage on sportsnet

im sure we missed a lot that led up to his slashing and stuff.

 

[Form and Substance]

I think there's 12 games left.

50 goals in 27 games....god damn it Mario Lemieux is amazing.

Wow, Tony Tanti did it in 35 games in a lower scoring league...

He is Jesus...

Mario is the closest thing to a playmaker on that list,and that was actually more
later on in his career.Nobody on that list from the last 10 years when the game
became LOW SCORING.Not too many 17 year olds on that list including Mario.

Alot of smaller, skilled players use their stick in less than respectable fashion so they can have more space. Crosby knows he's a target out there and that his teammates can't protect him all the time so he needs to send a message to the rest of the league that if you do try to abuse him you will pay a price. Until he does something really vicious I don't see too big a problem. He'll get his two minutes, he'll feel shame and then he'll score another goal.

It's exactly what happens... But there's something you need to mention. Sidney is always where the action is. He's a good agitator imo. It's not his style, but he agitates the play very often, always within the rules of the art.

I love that description of the "rules of the art".

 

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

I love that description of the "rules of the art".

well, like many others here, I don't speak english on a daily basis. I tried to find something that meant "dans les règles de l'art". However, I have no clue of how it sounds in english. I hope it didn't looked too foolish.

 

[PecaFan]

Dude, Crosby scored 50 goals, and Crosby's played 50 games. That's all that matters.

No, it's not all that matters. X in Y records in hockey have *always* been in the team's number of games, not the players. No "I" in "Team", remember?

This is just silly modern re-defining of terms by fan-bois, to prop up their heroes, and try and make them seem greater than they are. They did exactly the same thing with the mythical Tiger Woods "Grand Slam". Tiger didn't win the Grand Slam, as much as some people desperately wanted him to.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

50 goals in 27 games....god damn it Mario Lemieux is amazing.

If Crosby was playing back then I'm sure he would have done it in alot less then 50. And......GOD DAMN Crosby is good.

 

[Chileiceman]

So what's the big deal. If their calling this guy the Next one shouldn't this be expected in Junior.
Heck,Gretzky did it in 39 games in the NHL. That's what I call impressive

Tiger Woods is a legend though. He could hold all 4 majors at once. I didn't see Jack or Palmer do that.

This one's getting a little wordy. On to pt 2!
