Sidney Crosby continues to defy age by dominating play in almost every facet. In a crucial game agains the Detroit Red Wings, Crosby assisted on the overtime winning goal from Erik Karlsson, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins triumph 6-5. With that helper, Crosby eclipsed 1,000 career assists and passed Phil Esposito for 10th all-time in scoring with 1591 points. Oh yeah, he also had a goal and assist earlier in the game. Should Sid get Hart Trophy consideration, and will the Penguins hold their position in the wildcard race over the Red Wings, Capitals, and Flyers?

What an amazing game and a tremendous performance from Crosby and plenty of others out there! Will the Pens snatch one of the final two playoff spots, or can someone catch them from behind?
Nashville and Pittsburgh: Miss playoffs in 2023
“Finally, we can get some new teams in now.”
Nashville and Pittsburgh 1 year later:
The last few games of the season are going stressful for 4 teams in particular. PIT,WSH,PHI, and DET. I've had enough of PIT,WSH,and PHI. Detroit needs this last playoff spot so badly.
Pittsburgh should look to trade him in the off season
Don’t like the outcome, but it was a hell of a game!
LET GO ISLES!!
Not A Pens fan but come on do it for Sid!
GREAT game
All time classic NGL.
As a Penguins fan I was on the edge of my seat. Props to the Wings, particularly Raymond and Larkin. I was genuinely worried that the Penguins of the first half of the season were rearing their ugly heads due to Karllsson's defensive mistakes, but what a finish. Karlsson redeemed himself in the end, and scored what I feel is his biggest goal as a Penguin.
we are buzzing let’s go 🐧
Seems Raymond got pissed at Seider on the pens 4 goal lol
Crosby is the goat 🐐
Im an Isles fan and I think the Pens (certainly Crosby) deserve it more. Isles won 6 straight and play the Rangers again tom but finish the season vs the Pens next week. If that game decides it I think the Isles flop and Crosby shows us why he is the Goat -1
You make a good point about the Hart.
THERE NEEDS TO BE 2 SEPERATE TROPHIES!! 1. MVP = the player that dragged his team towards success. 2. BEST player of the season = this replaces what is currently the "MVP" ex. top scorer, most points, etc.
In that context Crosby is 1000% the MVP this year.
If sid gets 100+ points he will be in the convo
Pens/Panthers ECF? I'm in!
LGP 🐧♠️
Think about how many points Crosby would have if he didn't miss all that time for his concussions, WOW
Even watching game highlights and replays hard to believe it went so right!😍🏒🐧🐧🐧
Imagine if Patrick Kane was a red wing his entire career…Crosby vs Kane every other week 😛 Best american player vs best canadian player, but all the time!
Sid had a great year but the Hart Trophy is too crowded. Mcdavid only needs one more assist to hit 100. Only 3 other players in NHL history have hit 100 assists in one season: Wayne Gretzky (11 times), Mario Lemieux (once) and Bobby Orr (once). One more assist and McDavid will be added to that list.
So basically you're saying that the pens are going to win out and be in the playoffs? Okay will see! That trip was so blatant on Raymond should have been called. I think any team can take it. Pits play three hard teams the wings play one. Washington you never know what they do. They can go beat a power house team then lose to a nobody so I think they are done. I can't stand pits or crosby. Pple act like he got them to where they are at. No he helped them but gets all the credit. His plus minus sucks so how is he so complete?
It’s always funny looking at the NHL career points leaders. Gretzky annihilates everyone, it’s not even close. Probably the most untouchable record in sports.
Oh man, what if this had been the season-final game, and the winner would take the final spot – It would have been like winning a championship feeling at this stage!
Dude You're an excellent broadcaster. Clear concise insightful enjoyable to listen to. Lets go Penns.
