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

[Shrimper]

15 points needed in 9 games for 100 on the season

6 points needed for 1500 points.

Can't see 100 points now

6 points needed for 1500 points.

Can't see 100 points now

Will be tough to hit 100 but they have the Hawks and Blue Jackets for the last two games of the season.

All depends on where the Pens are in the standings to see if he plays or rests up for the playoffs.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Crosby is one even strength point away from tying Mario Lemieux for 13th in career Even Strength Points at 951. Only 8 players have eclipsed 1,000 even strength points.

 

[Shrimper]

90 points on the season.

1 point from 1500

950th assist

1500!!

 

[Shrimper]

Crosby is 36 this summer. If he plays until he's 40 he should pass Lemieux. Depending on how they go about fixing the team

hhof once he retires

 

[Dominance]

All those games lost to injuries, lockouts, and COVID…he would genuinely be chasing down 2,000 points. Regardless, it seems increasingly inevitable that he enters the top-10 in point scoring, surrounded by players who played out their primes in a vastly higher scoring era. Top-5 of all time.

 

[boompuffboom]

way to go Sid!!

Talk about meeting ALL expectations, living up to the hype, and then some more.

What a terrific athlete, the perfect hockey player. So happy to have watched this guy become a man.

Grats again !!!

If he scores another 90 points next year, he will be top 10.

Also, here's the most points scored by a player aged 35 or older in a season:

 

[Mr Buckles]

With 2 assists tonight, Crosby has reached 60 assists in a season for the 7th time in his career.

And surprisingly, this will be his first time with a 90 point season (he's had six 100 point seasons, and five 80 point seasons).

I'm assuming this graph is deliberately excluding Howe?

He scored 86 at age 35 and 103 at age 41.

A few others missing too.

Sakic hit 100 in 2007.

 

[jalidi]

The graph is of the results of players who were exactly 35 years old.

 

[Mr Buckles]

Ah, you are correct.

And

now he's tied for 5th all-time for points by a 35 year old.

Does anyone doubt it? First ballot.

Wow he just might lead this list one day...until McDavid passes him.

Just my first thought to this.

 

[HFpapi]

My favourite Crosby stat from this season is 82 games played <3

He will always be a bit of a “what-if” losing so much time just as he was hitting his absolute zenith in 2010/11 but happy to see such a legend healthy and playing great hockey this late into his career.

For a while looked like we might never see a healthy Crosby again.

McDavid won't play his whole career in Edmonton

McDavid won't play his whole career in Edmonton

The City of Edmonton should venerate him if he doesn't demand a trade before the season is over.
