How? Everybody's joking now.He’s choking...
Not sure why anyone is talking about Sidney Crosby in a thread about 700 goal scorers.
It's more frustrating that he's losing out on the Rocket race. He's obviously gonna hit 700 eventually during his career but not so sure he's gonna win another Rocket if he doesn't do it this season.
Also I agree with the other poster that mentioned his low point totals. I can ignore them when they're at least above ppg, but below ppg is just not worthy of an elite talent like him. And again, I can't really understand why he has such low totals because he's obviously a good player that is able to create plays and put the puck in the net.
He's probably a bit of a victim of his scoring abilty. When he's on the ice he gets fed the puck and he must shoot and the system is just not laid out for him to accumulate big assist totals. It seems to be a bit of a rotten situation sometimes.
But there are several players through history with more than 3 cups? In that case he would be behind them for sure, or take Roy with his 3 Smythe's what is the reasoning for ranking Crosby above him in that case? Zetterberg or perhaps Claude Lemieux(because we are talking a wider gap between Crosby and some others in discussion for 5th of all time) above McDavid? Well you can have your opinion, even if it stinks, ill stick to mine.
Considering I have no horse in the race while you are a Pens fan we all know who is more biased.
Weird how the narrative for Crosby has done a 180 of late. It used to be about harts and ross trophies now its about 200 foot game and team accomplishments. The things pen fans mocked for years.
OV doesn't have the hockey IQ to be a premier playmaker.
Those guys weren’t the captains of their teams. They didn’t lead their team to those titles, they were on them.

If Ovi was on a different team and asked to be the playmaker, he'd be good at it for sure.
Great players don't have to be asked to do something, they just do it.
Which 700 goal scorers exactly? That's quite a lot of goalscorersNot sure why anyone is talking about Sidney Crosby in a thread about 700 goal scorers.
That’s a fallacy. It’s always been about Crosby being a complete player & leading his team to championships. I could care less about Hart or Art Ross Trophies. So does Sid. He only cares about the Cup, which is the true metric. Since 1980, there have been only five player captains who have lead their team to at least three Stanley Cups. Potvin, Gretzky, Yzerman, Toews, & Crosby.
And Scott Stevens with New Jersey.Since 1980, there have been only five player captains who have lead their team to at least three Stanley Cups. Potvin, Gretzky, Yzerman, Toews, & Crosby.
On pace for 80.5 points this season, the Great 8 will not hit 90 points for 10 straight seasons despite playing almost every game. GOAT goal scorer, but it's ridiculous that the last time he hit 90 was when he was young.
Let's be real here, Crosby would get roasted if he put up a 65 point season in his prime. The fact that Ovechkin routinely gets stuff like this looked past, speaks to how lower in regard he's held even by his fans.
And Scott Stevens with New Jersey.
Still not really making a point about this either, since 3 is a subjective number only picked to specifically advantage arguments for Crosby while diminishing Messier et. al., but we've come to not expect anything less or truly honest.Ok 6. Still not a lot of people
