Most goals (Ovy) vs Most assists (Crosby) in NHL history?

[bobholly39]

I guess Crosby...because he's gonna have to play at a high level for another 12 years...

Or another way of saying it....

I guess Crosby....because he's going to retire in about ~3 years, but what a 3 year it's about to be! 300+ assist per season.

When this happens, which do you think is more impressive between the two?

When he passes Mario for 12th place? Huh?

"When this happens", eh?

Sean from the top rope.

We’re still waiting for Sean to come back and try and defend this

You've been around long enough to know that'll never happen.

would have been nice to see where these two would have ended up on those lists if they were on the same team. it wasn't that far off from happening either.

The assists record is obviously the more difficult to attain record set by Gretzky. He cleared that by almost ten times what he cleared the goals record by.

No idea why the poll results are what they are...

(yes goals are going to be more highly regarded than assists and yes Ovechkin is right on the cusp of actually attaining the goals record whereas Crosby almost certainly won't touch the assist record unless something drastic happens)

Was a nice Crosby vs Ovechkin poll stacked in favor of Crosby @SeanMoneyHands but people either saw through it or are just not getting it lol

There is absolutely no way Crosby achieves this, not sure why OP thinks that he will. It would easily be the most impressive thing if he did though.

 

[Goptor]

Crosby breaking Gretzky's assist record will be the best story in sports.

Can't wait to get tickets to see him do it.

 

[wetcoast]

Since you think he gets there, when do you think it happens? At what age.

It's a troll thread and we are all prisoners here.

The assist record is more impressive.

 

[nowhereman]

Crosby having the most assists in NHL history would be more impressive, since he would have to put up roughly 300+ assists a season over the next few years to do it.

The absurdity of the OP aside, the fact that Gretzky has more assists than any other player has points is absolutely mind-boggling.
