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

[Shrimper]

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

If he stays there his whole career then I hope he'll be happy not winning a cup.

3 points (so far) tonight to pass Paul Coffey and tie Mark Recchi for 13th on the all-time list.

 

[Dominance]

54 games to get 57 points and enter the top-10.

 

[Mr Buckles]

He has also tied Steve Yzerman for most career 3 or more point games. Likely own't be able to pass Esposito/Messier though?

 

[zar]

What a player! This guy just keeps the strong play going. Amazing talent. So smart. Such a competitor!

Impressive.

 

[Sorry]

Considering the games missed from injuries in his prime as well as the lockout and those other shortened seasons, it's pretty insane where he stands all time.

 

[george14]

He would have gotten 2,000 points for sure but I think he still has an outside chance to finish #2 all time. He’ll have around 1,600 after this year so it depends on how long he chooses to play. I don’t really see him falling off a cliff given his style of play, but could see him being a 50-60 point guy like Yzerman near the end.

Always dangerous to in one hands add missed games (injury-lockout-pandemic) to a player previous part of a career and not add in the others hands what that extra mileage could have done to the future version of the player.

But would he be at 1,400 games right now.....

We'd be looking at 2,000 points for sure. He only has a remote outside chance of that the moment sadly.

 

[Mr Buckles]

If he was at 1,400 games played now, given his PPG average over his career, he would now be at 1,762 points. That would put him 7th all time.

 

[jj cale]

One of the all time greats clearly, we are so proud of him here at home.

 

[caymanmew]

So if he finishes PPG this year he ties Gretzky with most PPG+ seasons? If he does it again next season he is in sole possession of the record?

Marcel Dionne is 3rd, he is a guy that gets under rated a lot IMO.

Crosby already has the most consecutive season record.

He is in rarefied air to say the least.

Over PPG yes, but PPG+ (which I think means PPG or over PPG) Wayne has 19 consecutives season (only one not PPG+ was his last one). Crosby is at 18.

 

[tarheelhockey]

This is a record that will move fast for him next season. He needs 50 more to get to Sakic at 1016, but that starts a cluster: Lemieux 1033, Dionne 1040, Howe 1049, Yzerman 1063, Oates 1079. So he’ll get fifty assists without moving up, then jump five guys on the next 33.

Passing Oates will put him at 8th all time, and the top 7 are guys who all had very long careers.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Crosby is now tied for 10th place all-time in even strength points. Later this year, barring injury, he should become only the 9th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 ES points.

He's at 1.26 over 19 seasons. If he was 100% healthy, he's be around 1900 right now. Certainly capable of 2000+ but injuries are robbers of potential.

Another 400 is...doable...but unlikely. I'd like to see him around the 1800 mark. Maybe #3 behind Jagr.

 

[Dessloch]

 

[TheGuiminator]

All secondary assists

Joke aside, I think he’ll end up above Sakic but right behind Lemieux (top 10).

I don’t see him playing very long after his current contract. He’ll probably retire around 1,24-1,25 career ppg, or right before his point production drops under a point per game in a single season

 

[Mr Buckles]

With a goal and an assist so far, Crosby has 1,540 career points, passing Jumbo Joe Thornton at 1,539 (12th place all-time).

 

[eXile3]

If he stays healthy he should pass Bourque but with the Pens PP being awful I doubt he catches Esposito this year.

507 games to score 382 points and pass Jagr. It is doable at this pace.

 

[Andy]

Too bad he missed all those games early in his career, then the lockouts and covid seasons. I think he'd have reached 2k points by the end of his career.
