I straight up said it was a great season for a 37 year old. But to say he's dominant this season is a complete lie.
Agreed - but also largely irrelevant to what I said. He isn't 'dominant', but he is having a great season for his age.
Probably on the goalscoring aspect, agreed. But also irrelevant when the discussion is around what HAS happened.
Great that his expected stats are great, but his ACTUAL /60 even-strength stats are not 'dominant' (as per my initial assertion), and his ES goalscoring is terrible (offset by great ES playmaking).
40th in ESP/60
260th in ESG/60
(8th in ESA/60 to be fair)
5v5 on ice expected goals against/60 = 3.18 (2nd worst on his team, 28th worst in the league)
5v5 on-ice goal differential = +2 (217th in the league)
Crosby is good offensively at even strength/5v5 this season (definitely not a beast), and he is terrible defensively at 5v5 hockey.
Point being as I said in my comment (which clearly stirred up a lot of Pens fans) -> Crosby is having a great season for his age, and is still good. But he is not 'dominant'.
