Friedman: Crosby looks to Set Record for Most Points by a Player Over 36
Crosby's Cementing His NHL Legacy
Needless to say, Sidney Crosby is one of the greatest players of all time. He has proven time and time again that he's one of the best since he was drafted first overall in 2005.
Now, at the end of his NHL career, the number 87 is still performing well and going after milestones.
It's been highlighted by a renowned insider that Crosby could be on his way to setting another NHL record.
Crosby, 36, Could Break Another NHL Record
In the latest edition of the written version of 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman shared an interesting thought on Sidney Crosby.
He basically gave an update of his statistics and compared him to other players at that stage of their careers.
Here's what he wrote:
"Sidney Crosby has 24 points in 21 games, on pace for 94. The NHL record for most points by a player aged 36 or over is 103, by a 40-year-old Gordie Howe in 1968-69. Next is Joe Sakic's 100 at age 37 in 2006-07 and Wayne Gretzky's 97 at 36 in 1996-97."
We already knew that Crosby is among the NHL's all-time elite, but we never get tired of seeing his name alongside legends like Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, or Joe Sakic.
