#87 Sidney Crosby Milestone Thread - History will be made

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Technically he already owns the PPG+ record as Wayne finished one season at exactly 1.0 PPG
Crosby ties Sundin for 12th place alltime GWG with no 96. He is 5th alltime in GWP
And if not for the concussion issues, he’d likely be at the top of this list now with 19 seasons of 70+ points.
It doesn't get mentioned enough that Crosby's prime was played during the lowest scoring era for elite forwards in the past 50/60 years, even lower than the DPE.
Lower scoring and more defensive-oriented hockey also leads to less opportunities for superstar offensive talent to separate themselves from the pack. The top players are getting more ice-time on average these days as offense vs. defense is prioritized.

Appreciate this legend as much as possible before he hangs them up
Crosby is on the verge of tying Gretzky for most empty net points, all-time (though Ovechkin could conceivably pass him):
Rantanen at 60 is pretty crazy with less than half the games played
If he keeps his current pace of 87 points, it would be the 5th highest total for a 37 year old:
Someone is going to break this record given the amount of ENG's these days.
I’ve wondered before about how these stats will change moving forward. Feels like coaches pull the goalie way more nowadays
