#87 Sidney Crosby Milestone Thread - History will be made (1600 points)

[Mr Buckles]

76 points in 63 games knocking on the door for top 10 in scoring. Hope he can get his 13th top 10 finish

Anyone know how to see the all time leaders for this? My Google skills must be lacking...

Crosby is tied for 3rd all-time with most seasons in the top ten in scoring (tied with Beliveau with 12 seasons). Howe is first with 21 seasons, and Gretzky is second with 16.

Sid needs 24 points in 19 games to get to 100. It's doable if he stays healthy. I know scoring is way up lately, but it'd still be cool to see him hit that mark at age 35.

If he hits 100 on the nose, he’ll only need 82 points next season to climb into the top 10 all-time.

If he hits 100 on the nose, he’ll only need 82 points next season to climb into the top 10 all-time.

And he'd be just the 4th player not born in the 1960s to be there (Jagr, Howe and Dionne being the others)

Crosby is tied for 3rd all-time with most seasons in the top ten in scoring (tied with Beliveau with 12 seasons). Howe is first with 21 seasons, and Gretzky is second with 16.

Thanks

Pretty cool how Sid is still third (albeit a distant third) in PPG behind Lemieux and Gretzky in that group. Super interesting how he will age out - scoring is going up and it's really hard to say how long he'll want to play for.

You missed Dionne. Crosby will likely fall just slightly behind Espo but 5th is still great.

 

[Sky04]

Crazy, with how many games he's missed he's only 50 points behind Joe Thornton who is by far the highest scorer from the dead puck era.

Flyers slayer & another game winning goal!

Jagr?

 

[Sky04]

Jagr?

He started his career well before the DPE.....guys who entered the league after 1996 are in their own generation (Thornton, Igina, Marleau etc) those guys started right when scoring when down, obstruction went up and didn't play a single game in the high scoring early 90s.

 

[psycat]

I mean if that's the criteria it's not really very impressive(or surprising) that Crosby, an all-time great, outscore all players who played in a low scoring era during a very limited time span.

What criteria? Just pointing out his scoring in reference to the top scorer from the previous generation.

That all points need to be accumulated during a very subjective and losely defined era in order to be valid in the comparison.

As a sidenote if you compare Jagr and Thornton only during overlapping years who comes out on top?

 

[Mr Buckles]

One goal from another 30 goal season

He's got some good milestones coming up:
- 1 goal to reach 11th 30 goal season (t-14th all time)
- 1 assist to reach 10th 50 assist season (t-13th all time)
- 2 points to reach 12th 80 point season (t-5th all time)
- 13 points to reach 1500 points (15th player to reach)

 

[Shrimper]

80 points for the season. 2 for another PPG season

Man if Lemieux had even somewhat more of a healthy career he would be #1.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

11th in scoring with 80 in 66. All the guys close to him all in their 20s and prime. Shows you how damn good he is. Hoping he can get that 13th top 10 finish

He was definitely special to watch when he was out there. As a fan it was a privilege

 

[Mrb1p]

Ties Jumbo, Macinnis, Kurri and Federko for the 13th spot most 50 assists seasons .

Macinnis uh ?

 

[frisco]

Only 315 points or so to catch Ron Francis who I think is #188th in the HF top 200 players (and won Selke's, Cups, and was a great faceoff guy and captain). Like underrated much?

Not to take away from Crosby, BTW.
