Top 100 Sidney Crosby Plays EVER!

The best 100 plays from Sidney Crosby -- the best point producer of this generation -- up until the end of the 2019-2020 season. No copyright purposes intended. I do not own any of the video clips or the audio. #sidneycrosby #nhl #pittsburghpenguins

[@MegaBlitz25]

Find me a more diverse highlight reel than this. Dancing through entire teams, scoring while falling, the best backhand in hockey history, his edgework, pure power protecting the puck, use of his skates, his hand eye batting pucks in and consistently incredible redirects, the no look passes, his hockey iq, undressing players and goalies, stealing pucks, using the boards and the back of the net, the michigan goal, i can go on forever. Penguins and Crosby fans are so spoiled to have been able to watch him for his career. we are so fucking lucky. 🐐

[@alphamale3643]

I was just saying, if u you watch McDavid highlights, its just him skating really fast and blowing by the defense, leading to a breakaway goal or pass. But McDavid really doesn't do much else. Crosby dominates the ice in many ways, other than just breakaway goals from being able to skate fast.

[@michaelshields6326]

​​@@alphamale3643That might have been the case earlier in his career, but it's not true anymore. McDavid has diversified his game much the same way Crosby did. He's developed a lethal wrist shot, he has mastered the banks shot/goal line angle shots, has great timing picking up loose pucks around the net, and he even has started developing a down low/ behind the net game. You don't score 60g/150 points being a one dimensional player.

Mats Sundin and Paul Kariya are two guys that come to mind who I'd put up there with anybody outside of Crosby.

Had this man not been put thru this much suffering and setbacks....he would now be on equal footing with Wayne. ...and Wayne never got the abominable treatment Sidney got. Nobody dared touch 99. But by the time 87 came along, the Game had changed and gotten real rough. Much more Violent and much Faster. But Sidney is no Loser. He's a Genius on skates. And the BEST team player EVER. So he thrived no matter what. Unbelievable. All things considered ...HE IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER !

The most complete player of all time. Not the best scorer (ovi) , not the best skater (mcdavid), not the best stickhandler (kane), not the best defensive forward (bergeron) and the list goes on for many categories. He is second best in all of the above. However, being the complete package of scorer, playmaker, defensive and offensive awareness, skater, speed and strength, being able to turn up a game... He is the absolute best in being a complete package, with nobody even close. Second best in this category has to be Forsberg. And yes, i am even considering gretsky and lemieux in this.

Pretty hard to find better highlights than that for a single player ! So many times he's schooled 3 or 4 players to get the goal !

[@Calabrin1]

#1 - favorite memory of this was the aftermath. The first game after the Olympics was Buffalo @ Pittsburgh. I was listening to the radio broadcast and the PA announcer said, “The Pittsburgh Penguins wish to honor all of the Olympians participating in tonight’s game.” Then they read off a list of players that competed in the 2010 Vancouver games. Ryan Miller was announced second-to-last and the Pittsburgh crowd went absolutely nuts for him. Before Sid was announced, they played the highlight of the golden goal, and I thought, “I wonder if they’re gonna boo this?” They did. The crowd BOOED Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh! It was a truly hilarious though good-natured moment.

[@michaelshields6326]

On #25, what makes it even better is that he pulled the same move against the same defender earlier in the game only to be stopped by Brodeur. He wasn't gonna be denied twice. Kinda wish that was included on that one.

[@littlesirenboy]

I was there for #85... I remember seeing him pivot like that and my mouth just dropping wide open. I couldn't believe it and then of course I went nuts when Sheary buried it lol

[@alphamale3643]

Everytime i watch McDavid highlights, it blows my mind, but then I watch Crosby after, and hes just 100x more exciting. Crosby has way more range of skills, McDavid can skate fast and look fancy, but Crosby has the highest hockey IQ in the game that can allow him to make unbelievable plays, the strongest legs to keep balance, eyes in the back of his head, and the best hand-eye coordination.

Something to remember with Crosby is not only all the points he could have from the games he missed in his prime, but the fact that he's never played with a talented line mate like how McDavid has Draisaitl and Ovi has Backstrom or Kuznetsov. Not even for one season. Jake Guentzel is a very good player but he's no Draisaitl and Crosby didn't even start playing with Guentzel until his 12th season. Just think of all the points that could be.

I'm a big pens fan. I have been watching sid his whole career in the NHL. I never realized just how amazing his awareness is and was. You can't say he was passing the puck without looking between his legs and got lucky that many times to find an open teammate to create a scoring opportunity. The hate for this guy was serious and I get it. Shit, imagine him playing for Washington with ovi. Or the red wings? I would hate him too. I am sad he seems to have lost a little over the last few years. But he also doesn't have the same people he had back then as fellow pens.
