Let's all bask in Crosby's awesomeness in this thread.

1G + 5A is pretty goot in one game.

Leading the league in scoring at 19 years old is also goot.

That game was pretty amazing, he could have had 7 or 8 if others capitalized a little better (i.e. that 2 on 1 Malone missed the net on).

I love the duet he did with Bowie.

It's that much sweeter when he owns Philly!

It was also nice he did it Last nite...I play him on Saturday so hope he will have an off night

FYP

Please dont misquote me like that...

By the way with all these comparisons to Lemieux and Gretzky need to stop...His teammates are saying he is BETTER than Lemieux..Crosby has played a year and a half, and I admit he is great...However to be mentioned in the same sentence as the Great one you need to have a career and not just a couple of great seasons...

Crosby lacks Wellwood's vision. Of course Wellwood has an unfiar advantage with both of his eyeballs looking in different directions.

I apologize, but if I didn't, someone would have.

Both amazing hockey traits bestowed upon him by the hockey gods.

You understand that they aren't comparing career stats, right?

They are comparing their skills as hockey players. You don't need to play for 18 years to be seen as a good hockey player.

Crosby is very good. I tip my hat to him, as I admit, I had some doubt at first. But he is NOT better than Lemieux was. Maybe he will be one day, but way too early to say that.

I see Crosby as a Bryan Trottier with a little toughness being replaced by more skill.

THAT...






WAS...






SICK!

NHL.com radio just doesn't do this game justice... Yay for Sportscentre!

FYP



You know that pittsburghpenguins.com puts up a video of all the goals, right?

It's Sportscentre here...lol

PP.com doesn't put it up until after the game though, right?

Sportscentre was coming on as I was typing the last post.

I'm not sure when they put it up, cause I watch most of the games....or can see the replays 34534543 times the next day on a few shows.

But, for you...I can't help you.


You came down here for a few games last year, right? Any plans for that again?

Yeah, I saw the back to back games vs NJ and Philly last March.

No plans to come back this year, unfortunately.

No money. Last year it was an xmas present from my Dad, so that was nice.

I do definitely need to swing down next season or something though. I should be rich by then...lol

Most def, I'll have to make it to a game when you're down here again.

Picture also taken there...(oh wait, that's where the Caps play, huh?)

Crosby needs to take the night off tonight. No assists, no goals, just a truly pedestrian effort.

I could accept that.

You're playing against him too?

He's playing against the Habs.

RMunro owns his rights in the FCHL.

My team is playing against RMunro's team.

Jeez.

I figured you were playing against him.

I'm not...I hope he has a quiet night so the Habs can win.

Have you been drinking?

Is today Saturday?

Carry the two...yes, alcohol is my friend.

Haha, well I'm in the process of getting bombed before going to the Canuck game. Only one assist for Crosby. The Habs weathered the storm and are playing well.
