Let's Go Pens!
honestly, he needs to have a pretty big season if he wants to continue to be seen as the best. I'm optimistic: healthy season, 40g, 65+a, 105+p, art ross

Yes as he probably meant that 100% of his goals & 100% of his assists will be real.
Why does this reminds me of McDo now...

37 + 67 for 104 points.
I'm not expecting 110+ because the league as a whole seems super defense oriented right now.
90-100 is what I expect. 104 is just a hope but I think it can be done

What a terrible image.
75+ games, 100+ points if the NHL isn't in an especially self-sabotaging mood. Healthy off season, something to prove and Kessel are big, or he gets Penguin'd for flying too close to the sun.
87 somewhere in his stats.

he really needs to win the scoring title this year. two art rosses at this stage of his career is pretty disappointing. sidney crosby should not be losing scoring titles to players like jamie benn. that just shouldn't happen to a generational talent like sid.
sid needs to get some more hardware and fast, because he's going to start slowing down soon if he hasn't already, and mcdavid is coming.
he only has a few more cracks at individual hardware honestly, he's lost a ton of accolades due to injury, so he simply cannot have piss poor efforts like he did for a decent portion of last season that end up costing him trophies.
i am still pissed at some of his horrific outings midseason last year. dude had the scoring title and he blew it.

82 healthy regular season games + a healthy number of healthy playoff games + Top 10 in scoring. Competing for the Stanley Cup would be nice though it's unrealistic to "expect it".

Impossible, that's unheard of. Next you'll be saying that injuries have an impact on a player.
We need a thread for guessing the big and/or bizarre injuries and illnesses that will happen.

I actually expect the league to loosen things up this year, and direct the refs to handle things accordingly.
They are not complete morons and can see that last year was one of the lowest scoring years in NHL history. I can not imagine that they want that.
As for Crosby specifically, I think that he has two to three more years of being the best in the game, with a nice gap between him and the next tier.
As long as that is the case he has to be the prohibitive favorite to run away with the scoring title, absent injury, etc.

I'll say 105.
I think I nailed it last year, but I can't find the thread. Said 85 or 86 or something. I believe I also said we'd start the year on a losing streak, though, which was totally off.

Said 90 and that that would be right around the Art Ross winner's totals. Checking the voting results, looks likeJaromir Jagr that Jagr fan guy stopped by to vote in the 81-90 range as well.

Top five barring major injury. From there it comes down to his personal play, coaching, league trends, etc.

The glaringly obvious first and most important thing I want to see from Sid this year is him being healthy the entire time. This one basically applies to all the Pens' star players who seem to keep missing time with injury (Malkin, Letang).
As for individual stats, I want him to return to the 100+ point plateau. I'd also like to see him hit 40 goals, but if not, the 100+ point mark is a must for me to feel like his game is back to what it was a season ago as the Hart, Lindsay, and Art Ross winner.
