Factoring in scoring differences between eras, without even mentioning the 180+ games he missed in his prime, Crosby is easily third on that list if not right up there with Lemieux.

..and Lemieux missed 5 1/2 seasons between 24 and 35 years old....think about that

 

[missionAvs]

You know, this might be a controversial statement, but I think he’s a pretty good player.

Ehh just a hot streak. He'll come back down to earth in a few games and regress back into the 3rd line role he was always destined to be in.

Hopefully he can stay healthy more

Fun fact: Sidney Crosby recorded his 19th career overtime goal tonight, taking sole possession of first place on the NHL’s all-time overtime points list with 38.

Fun fact: Sidney Crosby recorded his 19th career overtime goal tonight, taking sole possession of first place on the NHL’s all-time overtime points list with 38.

Now with 3 on 3 OT hockey, some young gun is going to smash this

Example: One Connor McDavid is already up to 27 points

 

[Mickey Marner]

Maintaining a 100 point pace over 1100 games during an era where there were only 42 (and counting) 100 point scorers in 17 years is nuts.

Maintaining a 100 point pace over 1100 games during an era where there were only 42 (and counting) 100 point scorers in 17 years is nuts.

Just checked, and yes, his career 1.27 ppg works out to 104 points for every 82 games.

 

[Mr Buckles]

Milestones galore:

"Crosby added an assist in his 1,100th game, becoming the seventh-fastest — and third active — player in NHL history to reach the 1,400-point milestone. It was his 158th career three-point game, tying Guy Lafleur and Joe Sakic for 11th in league history.

It was also Crosby’s 77th game-winning goal, one behind Evgeni Malkin and Jaromir Jagr for the most in team history. Crosby took sole possession of first on the NHL’s all-time overtime points list and scored his 19th career overtime goal, tying Jagr for second most.
Crosby passed Jari Kurri for 22nd place on the NHL’s career points list with his assist on Zucker’s goal.

At 1,400 points, Crosby is two behind Alex Ovechkin for 21st in league history. Only Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman reached 1,400 points with one franchise.

Crosby became the first player in franchise history to appear in 1,100 games with Pittsburgh and the fifth member of his draft class to hit the mark. Crosby has the seventh-most points through 1,100 games in NHL history — and sixth-most not including Lemieux, who did not play 1,100 career games."

So sad that without all the injuries, he would be at 1600 at least.

Crosby's game winning goal is nice because it really gives you the full NHL experience.

You have a beautiful passing play and a couple feet away you have a dude getting hauled down and bear hugged on the ice.

 

[Shrimper]

So sad that without all the injuries, he would be at 1600 at least.

Would have had a shot at 2,000 points in his career.

Next milestones are;

20th - Dale Hawerchuk on 1409 points
19th - Doug Gilmor on 1414 points

He should get those this season. 18th - Adam Oates on 1420 is too far with 8 games left.

21st - Dale Hawerchuk on 891 assists
20th - Phil Housley on 894 assists

Crosby is on 886 assist

Playing the remaining 8 games would put him 197th all time.

39th - Pierre Turgeon on 515 goals
38th - Dale Hawerchuk on 518 goals

Crosby is on 514 goals.

23 - Doug Gilmour on 882 ESP
22 - Gilbert Perreault on 882 ESP
21 - Henri Richard on 883 ESP

Crosby on 881 ESP

 

[Old Gregg]

The great part is that Lemieux only played 915 games

Yep. Lemieux would've been around 2100pts at 1100 games.

 

[Dessloch]

With his 3 points last game Crosby leapfrogged Jari Kurri for 22nd on the all time NHL points list. Hawerchuck and Ovechkin are next, with the latter being harder to get since he is a moving target!

1 Wayne Gretzky 2,857
2 Jaromir Jagr 1,921
3 Mark Messier 1,887
4 Gordie Howe 1,850
5 Ron Francis 1,798
6 Marcel Dionne 1,771
7 Steve Yzerman 1,755
8 Mario Lemieux 1,723
9 Joe Sakic 1,641
10 Phil Esposito 1,590
11 Ray Bourque 1,579
12 Joe Thornton 1,538
13 Mark Recchi 1,533
14 Paul Coffey 1,531
15 Stan Mikita 1,467
16 Teemu Selanne 1,457
17 Bryan Trottier 1,425
18 Adam Oates 1,420
19 Doug Gilmour 1,414
20 Dale Hawerchuk 1,409
21 Alex Ovechkin 1,403
22 Sidney Crosby 1,400
23 Jari Kurri 1,398
24 Luc Robitaille 1,394
25 Brett Hull 1,391

The cap really makes star players stick around uh?

3 players did it before 2006. Now, Ovechkin, Crosby almost double the club, and I don't doubt one of Malkin/Kane is gonna join too

 

[Mr Buckles]

With 3 (secondary) assists, Crosby has reached 50 assists for the 9th time.

That's a milestone, right?

Would have been a perfect story if the nhl had not closely reviewed the 3-3 goal and changed it to Guentzel (Rakell, Ruwhedel)
