honestly, thats one of the greatest feats in sports HISTORY. Its not like he played in the high scoring years from 1976-96 either. What an athlete.

 

[SEALBound]

Beauty of a goal. Nice one to get the record with. What an absolute treat it has been to watch him for TWENTY years.

 

[66-30-33]

He did it.

Crosby is now the new standard for elite consistency

 

[potatowejj]

This is a record that I thought might've been verging on unbreakable. I'm sure he's going to add to it as well.

 

[orby]

Any record of Gretzky's being broken is pretty remarkable. There are very few athletes who have ever been among the best in their sport for as long as Sid has.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Was there ever any doubt?

He will do it again next year.

Gretzky records? He’s been there, done that.

Would love for Uncle Gary to give the Pens a gift wrapped Michael Misa for Crosby to mentor in his twilight years.

A) Why are you coming in here to stir up shit? Let Crosby have a place to have his accomplishments celebrated. The 20 years at point/gp is a huge stat and accomplishment. This is not a debate thread.

B) Did you use chatgpt to pull this? Like the most goals in one month for Ovi is not correct. And I think every single one for Crosby there is incorrect.

Hard to imagine a human writing that post which is so full of inaccurate info. Just IMO, but that should be a bannable offense, before HFboards becomes a site where LLM outputs just talk back and forth to reach other.

@Midnight Judges now's your chance to tweet back at the NHL and set things straight.

 

[5 Minute Major]

So good for so long. I hope he has a few more years in him.

 

[jigglysquishy]

This was Crosby's 14th 80 point season, good enough for second all time. Only Gretzky at 17 has more.

 

[SEALBound]

Nights like tonight make me really sad to remember how much of his prime we were robbed of.

I was 11 when Crosby played his first NHL game. I'm turning 31 next month and the guy is still elite and just broke a Gretzky record. Insane considering how those injuries derailed his career

 

[TheGuiminator]

Next step 2k points ?

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Forget the sport of hockey: This has got to rank up there with any elite-level longevity in professional sports.

Its like averaging 25ppg in Basketball for 20+ years (only Lebron has done it) or batting over .300 for 20+ consecutive seasons (only Ty Cobb).

 

[Nathaniel]

20 straight ppg seasons. Emperor of consistency

This was Crosby's 14th 80 point season, good enough for second all time. Only Gretzky at 17 has more.

And the only reason he hasn't passed that 17 is injuries, lockout, covid. Gretzky would have had 19 without the back injury in 92-93 and lockout in 94-95.

07-08 - 72 points in 53 games (injury)
10-11 - 66 in 41 (Steckel hit to the head) - lost Hart, Ross, Rocket surely
11-12 - 37 in 22 (issues from Steckel hit, doctors misdiagnosing him)
12-13 - 56 in 36 (lockout + Orpik slap shot to the face) - Lost Hart and Ross surely
19-20 - 47 in 41 (covid)
20-21 - 62 in 55 (covid)

Sid would be breezing past 2k points if not for missing about 200 games between age 20-25. The fact he still has an outside shot to get there (think he needs to play 3 more seasons and be healthy for all) is pretty damn remarkable.
