Came across an interesting question on twitter:
Is Sidney Crosby top 5 all time?
Most have Gretz, Lemiuex, Orr as 1-2-3 in whatever order they prefer. After that though is becomes an interesting question.
Sid's tale of the tape:
- 534G, 1449PTS & counting
- 3 Cups, with 2 Conn Smythe's
- 2 Hart's, 2 Art Ross, 2 Rocket's
- 3 Ted's
- 5 NHL 1st team
I think Howe has to be considered ahead of him
- 6 Art Ross
- 6 Hart's
- 801 G, played until he was a million years old but was still .5ppg as a 51 yr old ffs
- 4 Cups
- 12 NHL 1st team
Jagr?
- 6 Art Ross
- 1 Hart
- 3 Ted's
- 8 NHL 1st team
- 766G, 1921PTS
A guy who doesn't get enough credit...Paul Coffey?
- 396G, 1532PTS
- 3 Norris
- 4 Cups
- 4 NHL 1st team
Bourque
- 410G 1579 PTS
- 5 Norris
- 13 NHL 1st team
- 1 Cup
Re-ignite the old argument...Ovy?
