Does Crosby’s streak end this season?

[randywoodsghost]

His most consecutive seasons of averaging over a point per game is in jeopardy. 1 goal, 7 points in 9 games. More concerning is that he was held pointless in 5 of his 9 games.

Just a flesh wound, he will get going soon.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Doubt it, man is old and still insanely talented, his old bones gotta get warm

 

[Goose]

It would destroy his legacy if he finishes with something like 77 points in 80 games.

 

[BallardEra]

It will depend on his goal total for this season.

It's still early and Sullivan could be fired by Monday.

 

[bobholly39]

He's going to score ~90-95 points this year.

He's also going to become the 2nd player in hockey history to win 3 Conn Smythes.

Does Draisaitl's point per game streak end this year?

 

[Midnight Judges]

It doesn’t really exist to begin with, because 37 point seasons don’t count as a ppg season.

So he's going to be traded at the deadline?

Lol

Disco Dan got a 5-year leash for winning one Cup and Sully looks like he'll get a 10-year leash for winning back-to-back Cups.

What do you think? Will his streak end?

Ideally yes to Montreal

It doesn’t count for you, but objectively speaking, 37pts in 22gp is well over a ppg

And you have to be insane (and a hater) to think that he doesn’t score atleast another 45 points in 60 games, at the height of his peak.

 

[Sheppy]

I think he ends with 85+ points still. Guy is so effective still.

Tavares and a 2nd for Crosby! /s

 

[TooManyHumans]

It is in danger if Sullivan is the coach all year. They need to get Rust away from Sid but as long as Sullivan is there it isn't going to happen.

 

[Barrie22]

Even if he doesn't tying the great one in consecutive years at point per game is pretty decent.

 

[Mr Kot]

As with most, if not all generatinal players, he will be good until his very last season. wouldnt be surprised if he wa ppg until he was 39/40

How do you feel about wraparound winning streaks?

 

[thefutures]

Considering his points are the only thing that really matters in Pittsburgh I'm sure he will get enough ice time to pad his stats

 

[D Wakaluk]

Yeah I've learned not to count Crosby out.

But the man's gotta start aging eventually? Right?

It matters not. The fact is he didn’t.

And no, there is no rational basis for crediting it as a “season.” I can’t help but notice you left that word out of your explanation.

 

[BallardEra]

It’s still very early so let’s see where he’s at after 20 games.

Last season after 20 games:


13 goals, 11 assists for 24 points, +11

(11 even strength goals, 20 even strength points)
