I’m sure the ABC Chicago sports page is so reputable.Another day goes by where Sidney Crosby is viewed as the greatest player of the century.
Don’t you guys love to see it?

Ranking the top 25 NHL players of the 21st century
From Crosby to Thornton, Ovechkin to Chara, here are hockey's best from the past 25 years.abc7chicago.com
Why is that odd? What do the Caps have to do with itWhat an odd statistic. Caps were a powerhouse team and possibly just as tough to dispatch then the wings that year for the Penguins. Let me cherry pick a random stat too. Crosby had almost just as many goals in a 7 game span as McDavid had in his entire 25 game playoff run last year.
I am not. The argument was to portray McDavid as somehow coming into a league that had less benefits to score. It’s patently false, and PPO won't demonstrate that, but GPG. Continue talking about whatever you want to talk about, but with regards to scoring environment, it isn't close. McDavid's 3rd-9th season has taken place in a much easier scoring environment than Crosby's 3rd-9th.
The bolded doesn’t make any sense

Cool stories, I’m sure they mean something to someone…somewhere, what they have to do with the topic? Nothing.But that was done by a collection of ESPN writers, what do they know? We have GreatGonzo and Video Nasty as objective authorities on Crosby.
'Crosby's teammate Kris Letang recalled how, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against San Jose, Crosby vowed he and Letang would team-up on the "biggest goal" of the night. They wound up connecting for a game-winner that secured Pittsburgh's fourth Cup in franchise history. Letang was understandably stunned by Crosby's fortune-telling prowess on such a large stage.'
'But Crosby impresses in the smaller moments, too. Former linemate Conor Sheary recalled Crosby assuring him when they were paired together that Sheary was "there for a reason and to play my game." It was the sort of calming presence Sheary needed and a gesture from Crosby he's never forgotten.'
Who do we listen to? Former teammates and professional writers, or GreatGonzo?
You are quoting stuff from 2016, not 2009.
