Crosby is gunning for the Rocket.

[Ugene Magic]

With 2 goals tonight (12) he's only two back (14) adding to the pile at his age.

Props old kid...

Edit: I have been corrected.

The Kid is the Goat. Coming from a Habs fan, the best hockey player of my generation.

Tied with Frank.

There is no reasonable argument to suggest Crosby is the greatest hockey player of all time.

I mean, in the part of their response that you didn't bold, they seem to agree with you? (Otherwise they wouldn't have specified "of my generation").

2 back.

 

[Beau Knows]

It will probably take 55-60ish goals. 40 would be amazing for a 36 year old Sid.

You can be the GOAT and the best of a generation. Arguably Gretzky for example.

You can also be the best of a generation, without being the GOAT. Arguably Crosby for example.

I was simply pointing out the misuse of the term GOAT. People throw it around as if it means 'elite' or something like that. It means one thing, and Crosby isn't it.

I'm aware of what you point out (and I agree with you). Their elaboration (that you ignored) was helpful in determining their actual intent.

Can he be the Goot? ( greatest of our time )

Old man Sidney channeling his inner Sid the kid.

Rocket going to be tight this year. No chance for kids from either Toronto or Edmonton

He's 2 back, Connor has 14

 

[Machinehead]

If he already has a gun, why does he need a rocket?

What is he planning?

A hostile takeover of the GDT with @Zirakzigil

 

[dalewood12]

Imagine someone telling you back in 2007 that Sid would end his career with more Rockets than Art Ross's.

 

[BallardEra]

Outside chance at 700 career goals.

 

[ORRFForever]

No longer a "kid" but still GREAT !

When we're half way into the season we should re-visit this thread. Guys like Toffoli have been racking up a bunch of goals early in the season for years but the best always find a way to separate themselves from the rest as the season goes on. I suspect guys like Matthews, Connor, Kucherov, and Pasta will still be up there, but I'm wondering whether Boeser, Nylander, Debrincat, and Reinhart can continue to fill the net at their current rates or if they'll taper off as teams start to tighten up defensively. Crosby hasn't potted 40 since Pittsburgh won their last cup, it's unlikely he'll keep pace with the top goal scorers for the entire season at his age.

It all depends on the health of him and Karlsson and how many slap passes Karlsson wants to set him up with

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

most skilled player in hockey history thus far

i wont accept counter arguments! its my opinion and im sticking with it!!

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Is this accurate, Crosby is leading the league in even-strength points (second in even-strength goals)? Old man is tearing it up to start this season.

 

[2014nyr]

he's unbelievable just unfortunate he plays on a team that only dresses like 6 players each game

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Guy I'd 36 years old with 22 in 16 while prime McDavid is 13 in 14. The guy s a maniac. Gtfo with McDavid. Guy never won shit in the chl and won't in the nhl
