Crosby league leader in points at 5-on-5. Wow. (this is not talking about 6 on 5, 4 on 4, etc)

[PaulD]

Sid leads everyone this season ....yes everyone in points 5 on 5. After 70 games.
Surprising ? I guess it shouldn't be. But for Sid to do that at his age, on that poorly built team, and with those line mates. It is amazing.

Noteworthy ; 87 also leads the league in total points since the Four Nations tourney.

 

[Jacob]

I'm surprised he doesn't have more PP points, since the PP has been pretty good this year under Quinn. But he's also been using the 2nd unit more.

[edit] looks like Sid is 8th at ES.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I believe i was told it was against the law for a player over 35 to still be good at hockey

my day is ruined

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Unreal. And he's really driving play and making some incredible set-ups too, it's not like he's just picking up gimme points.

 

[daver]

It looks like he's 2nd:

Since Guenztel was traded last March, which was thought to be the end of the Pens playoff chances in the Crosby/Malkin/Letang era, Crosby, Crosby is 1st in 5 on 5 points, 4th in ES points and 5th in points.

Only the Big 4 have more points.

He is outscoring the best Pen by 46%, Kucherov is outscoring the best Bolt by 42%.

 

[tfwnogf]

wow he's still got it

 

[jetsforever]

Huh, that is pretty crazy but if anyone could do it at that age I could see Crosby

 

[BaconNater]

I'm happy to see Crosby is still great! I hope he plays in the playoffs again someday darnit Kyle

 

[sbhnur]

He leads everyone except Draisaitl to be correct.

5on5 stats

5on5 stats

why are these numbers so different than nhl.com?

nhl.com has Sid 8th. seems to make more sense.

 

[Breakers]

Dubas should face criminal charges for the team he put around this man

Class A Felony for negligence

It’s so bad for the league to see this happening with the way he is performing

I think Sid at 8 is even strengths points, these are 5on5 points? I couldnt find 5on5 stats on nhl.com, only even strengths which includes ot and 4on4.

There was such a gap between Lemieux and Crosby/Ovechkin… we went a long time without seeing what top-tier greatness really looks like. Those two are showing us what we missed by not having a bona fide generational talent enter the league for so long.

Ah, thanks!

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

This would be cool if it was true, but he actually has less than guys like Hagel and Protas

 

[NVious]

All the stupid brocolli head gen zers wanna score michigan empty net 360 no scope twerk powerplay goals, meanwhile Sids trying to show them how to play the game the right way, they keep telling him to shut up boomer, but Sid keeps racking up (ethical) points.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

This would be cool if it was true, but he actually has less than guys like Hagel and Protas

The stat is 5 on 5 points. So this disregards empty nets etc.

 

[PensandCaps]

Not true. Even strength points count empty net points. Remove those and just look at 5 on 5.

Hagel got 14 empty net points. Crosby, 4.

 

[filinski77]

This is more impressive to me than 5v5 or even-strength etc.

Very impressive and great to see that Sid has been motivated as hell since winning gold

 

[Golden_Jet]

Should change thread title to 5 on 5, as he’s not the leader in EVP

empty net is 5 on 5, unless there is a penalty.

Pretty sure that is counted as 6 on 5.

Tells so much about Crosby and the Bolts.

But hats off to the old men...Crosby and Ovie.

But but definitely kudos to Sid whom this thread is about
