#87 Sidney Crosby Milestone Thread - History will be made (MOST FACEOFFS WON IN NHL HISTORY 2025-01-07))

[TheSanny]

One of the greatest players ever. It's been (and still is!!!) a priveliege watching this guy throughout his career.

 

[Mr Buckles]

Goal #30 - 11th time reaching 30 goals - puts him in a tie for 14th all-time along with Lemieux and others.

Crosby's goal was also pretty nasty:

 

[IslandBeast]

Only guy in the history of the game who can beat a goalie clean with a backhander from the top of the circle.

 

[Three On Zero]

Best in league since Lemieux, what a career

 

[yada]

Only guy in the history of the game who can beat a goalie clean with a backhander from the top of the circle.

I wouldn't say history of the game but only current player as the backhand has been a lost art. Paul Kariya and jagr had wicked backhanders and utilized them in their younger days.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Filthy Backhand yuuuuuuck

 

[Jeremy Hronek]

I want him and Ovi to play forever

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Crosby's goal was also pretty nasty:

Vintage Sid, he embarrassed Sam Girard breaking his ankles and throwing him into the next convenient parallel dimension then swirled Georgeiv, stole his lunch money, stuffed him in a locker and called him a nerd.

Crosby's goal was also pretty nasty:

It was nice, but an assist has to go to Girard who is an AHL-level defender

 

[Dessloch]

 

[Bowski]

Sid is some fine wine.

 

[KaraLupin]

Only guy in the history of the game who can beat a goalie clean with a backhander from the top of the circle.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

What a goal last night, can still turn on the jets when he receives that puck!! Best backhand in the world!!

 

[Koolboss]

Nice try

 

[paracord]

Goal #30 - 11th time reaching 30 goals - puts him in a tie for 14th all-time along with Lemieux and others.

And goal scoring has never been his best skill.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Crosby is part of this one

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Crosby is part of this one

Not sure if that's a great stat . Penguins are so old, among the oldest teams ever.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Not one of these is clear him on the goaltender. He had screens for every one of them.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Backhand last night clocked in at 68 mph.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Screened, screened, deflected.

 

[chethejet]

Sid voted best overall player this year.

 

[BallardEra]

Backhand last night clocked in at 68 mph.

That’s nuts. Beautiful goal by Sid.

I don’t know how many other players in the league could have scored that goal.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

With his goal against the Stars in Dallas, now has scored at least one goal on every team in every arena.

 

[wetcoast]

I love Datsyuk and those Red Wing teams but to be fair the first 2 clips were complete screens but that 3rd one was sweet.
