Datsyuk toys with Crosby and scores. Google it. What was it like to play against Datsyuk? It was like trying to stop Sydney Crosby and then trying to get past Nick Lidstrom. On top of that he'd steal the puck every 23 minutes or so and he would do something every game to make you look totally helpless. Yeah, he was THAT good. If not for knee injuries he would have done more too... And Crosby wouldn't have liked that.
@@kennethrussell1320 yeah is datsyuk a complete player tho? Do most nhlers call him the best? NO not even close. Crosby is the best complete player. Name something bad about his game. Datsyuk is just a better Patrick Kane. Slow but can dangle. Shit datsyuk was barely a 80 point player.
@@350oven4 The answer to your question is yes, most NHLers called Datsyuk the hardest player to play against. He beat Crosby on that question. Been a while since I saw the stats but 24 percent of players voted Datsyuk hardest player to stop. Crosby was tied for 2nd at 12 percent. When Datsyuk was healthy (strong enough knee to stand the pressure he put on it) he was the better player. His victims said so.
Imo Crosby played in much harder league and is the most well rounded hockey player ever. He has the speed, can play as a playmaker, sniper, power forward, grinder, and is one of the best 2 way forwards in the game. His skill set is unmatched and that's why I consider him the GOAT.
This is an awesome video, it left out Sid's 2015 IIHF World Championship Gold. Sid has 7 championships, 3 Stanley Cups, 2 Olympic Golds, 1 World Cup Gold, and 1 World Championship Gold, He is a member of the Quadruple Gold Club winning all 4 of the different championships just mentioned, and he was captain in all but his first Olympic gold medal.
Tom Witner Teenagers? I watched Gretzky and Lemieux from the beginning of their careers on. You can debate between the two, but they are the two greatest offensive players ever. With that being said, Connor McDavid is the closest thing today to those two, and he just turned 21.
Byronlee marley McDavid is nothing like Gretzky or Lemieux. Those two were playmakers and Lemieux being a possession playmaker at that. McDavid is extremely fast with good hands, totally different play styles.
Agreed. Numbers were higher back then if you were one of the only superstars alive and scoring was way higher in general. Dude wouldn't score 80 points in today hockey tho.
I have to agree for this era. Gretz played in a different era. The talent and conditioning of the players on all teams is much much better today. Many of the players on teams of the 80's and 90's would not make todays NHL rosters. Their idea of conditioning and getting into shape was to cut out eating cheeseburgers , fries and drinking a cold one in August. Today all year around special diets and super conditioning is all year around. 99 -66-68 and others would be super players and 66 because of his size more so would cope with the size and speed of todays players but I dout their numbers would be anything like they were. I did enjoy the 80's and 90's but I have to admit the new era is a much better all around talent era.
Let's not forget equipment. Back in 77 when even I went from Bauers with steel blade to Lange Lazer 5s with Perfecta blades, it made a big difference in turning and weight. Same with light weight padding, breathable jerseys etc. and the sticks now are magic as compared to the lumber pile from years ago. On a side note, an ex NHLer from the late 50s to early 60 that I knew told me their idea of fitness was going to a bar after a game ha ha.
I agree and for that reason nobody will ever touch that points record. I do believe Sid has been that much better as well though in his era. I mean Ovi is wildly considered number 2 of his era. Even with 200 more games played he still has less points. Just incredible
I think we need to stop comparing Crosby and Gretzky. Different generations, different goalie pad sizes, different styles of stick. 30 years from now some player will be compared to Sidney Crosby is that fair? Crosby in his own right mind is the best player in my generation and I'm 30. (I'm talking about players in their prime). Crosby, ovie can retire today and still make the first ballot Hall of Fame. Are we comparing Tom Brady to Johnny U? Michael Jordan to Kareem?
Of course you compare Crosby to Gretzky. Changes in goalies pads aside, Gretzky dominated his peers for years. If it was so easy back then, why was Gretzky so much better than anybody else? You first compare players to their contemporaries. Gretzky was better than Lemieux, and Lemieux is the greatest Penguin ever. How can you say Crosby even compares to Gretzky, different generation or not. As an aside, I believe Connor McDavid is already better than Crosby, and he just turned 21. Taking nothing away from Crosby, he's an all time great, but these comparisons to Gretzky are ludicrous. Not to mention that there's some debate as to whether Sid is even the best on his team. Malkin has had just as good a career as Sid.
Dave It's fair to compare. Gretzky's numbers speak for themselves. And before anyone compares the game from Gretzky's era to today, all I can say is that if hockey was so easy back then, everyone would have done what Gretzky did. The only players in history comparable to Gretzky are Lemieux and Orr. This is not even a legitimate argument, bc you are starting with a debatable assumption that Crosby is the best player of his generation.
Byronlee marley if you look at Gretzky's team he was surrounded by much better players then Crosby is. With no salary cap they build a monster of a team. Maybe Crosby would have put up those numbers if there was no salary cap. Yes he has good players on his team but look at the wingers Gretzky had on his line compared to the ones Crosby has. And yes the goalie equipment is a factor that can't be ignored, he wouldn't have put up the same numbers if he played against goalies today compared to ones back then.
FE4R x DEMoN evgeni malkin Jake guentzel kris letang phil kessel do those names ring a bell those are a few of the talented players on the roster I could go in depth if youd like
Petition to make this his retirement video. It is just a perfect video for that and I think it would be so cool if they played this video at the PPG Paints Arena when he retires.
im 38 now and ive been playing and watching hockey for some time(def. more watching). but I have never seen such finesse and skill on the ice. The Kid is incomparable in todays and yesterdays generations
Happy 33 Birthday Sidney Crosby. You are a wonderful Canadian Hockey player and so proud to wear your Jersey #87, even though I live in Canada and Toronto tabout. What can I safe you make my Proud to be a Canadian! Bless you Sidney, have a great game tonight against the Montreal Canadiens. So weird to be watching hockey in August and watching you play tonight on your birthday is kind of surreal! But a after thos Pandemic Lockdown it's be a wonderful week of Hockey this week. God bless you all. ✌❤🏒👍 KEH 🇨🇦
He stinks, zero goals and assists vs Islanders and 0-3 in series WTF. He is not even the best penguin, Lemieux and Jagr were better. You have to be ashamed of yourself to put him above Mario.
@@rudy1999 you keep leaving the same comment about jagr and lemieux. a prime jagr was a whole step below a prime crosby. jagr didn't make his teammate better, didn't play center, didn't win faceoffs, didn't play defensively at all, wasn't an elite passer, wasn't a leader.
I think there are so many factors which should accompany the name Goat, and I think Crosby is definitely a forerunner to be called this. Hes still going strong
I love watching this guy play,it's hard to say the greatest of all time I remember when Wayne greatskey came in we all thought the same, sid like Wayne took there game to a whole new level same with ovetchen ,definitely one of the greatest they are fun to watch and there's more to come
Hard work will always beat talent. Crosby is the hardest worker and also has a natural talent. You can't consider someone the best player of all time ''gretzky'' when most of the players where in a ''alright'' shape. Greztky had a better hockey sense than anyone, but he would get schooled hard in todays NHL.
Gretzky would have adapted and found a new way to succeed. That is what made him so great. He saw the game differently. If he was in today's game, he would have been more into fitness, he would have taken advantage of the sticks they use. But in a huge game that means everything, I would take a prime Crosby over Gretzky and Lemieux.
Bobby Orr was the best player to ever lace on skates. No other defensemen has ever won the scoring championship. Orr changed the way the position of defence is played and thus the game itself.
Sidney Crosby is the best right now because he is a complete player who plays the entire game like no one has ever played it before and I’m happy he is on my team the whole key to his success is his skating skill
my brothers friend played with him at Shattuck st. Mary's. my brothers friend was a senior and Crosby was a freshman and he said Crosby was impossible to bump off the puck.
Crosby is the undisputed GOAT. He is absolutely the most skilled player to ever play the game... and im talking about Gretzky and Lemiuex too. There's never been a player that plays every aspect of the game as well as he does... not to mention the intangibles like leadership. No ones even that close in my opinion.
The Rocket, Howe, Hull, Orr, Lafleur, Wayne, Mario, Crosby, McDavid, maybe Bedard in the future, make the NHL go around. Just thrilling to watch. Not to take away from other great players like Ovi, Yzerman, Bossy etc. but these players are the era they play in.
Gretzky paved the way for Crosby in this area, no need to compare them, both played in different eras and with different levels of training and professionalism
@@jalachkasascha what are you smoking? I'll make it easy for you....Sid has played 180 less games and had more points than Ovi all they way up until he had surgery this year. So not only is Ovi only 12 points ahead of Sid but has played almost 200 more games. That tells you all you need to know
The Goaltending, the whole game now a days is far more superior then when gretzky played, there's no way Gretzky would even come close to those numbers now a days.
You also have to consider that Gretzky used a shitty wooden stick, shitty skates, shitty gloves, and not to mention the refs were much more lenient on hooking calls and holding calls.
Master Shifu Oveckin is a much better goal scorer than Crosby.7 times 50+ goal seasons and 6 Maurice Richard trophies.Sid only had one 50+ goal season.
Not sure who is the best player ever, but Crosby is one of the best..with Malkin in same line ,that is show on the ice..respect from HK Partizan Belgrade fans
I think lemeiux is the best, hell gretzky retired in 98 playing against guys who would mold the sport into what it is today, but thats why i pick lemieux. He had a 90 point season after he retired and all the bullshit he went through he could still produce top numbers in a changing game.
Comparing players of any sport today and 20/30 or more years ago is ridiculous. No mater their titles and remarkable accomplishments of their time, they wouldn't be able to keep up with a great player in recent years. Sport by itself has developed so much over time and we know so much more about the human body, plus the competition only gets more fierce... Most people who won medals then wouldn't be nearly as successful now. It goes without saying that 3 teams with a great player is much different than 10 with 3 great players each. Sidney Crosby is the best hockey player ever no matter the numbers and yes some others come very close, but in my opinion most of them are playing now too.
Feels great to have watch the most dominate player to ever play the game besides Mario, but era wise gretz would have a hard time keeping up with the kid. Or put Sid back then he'd average 5+ points per game against those beer league tendys.
I think in terms of eras this is the best era of hockey in terms of talent. So if the best player in the best era of hockey is not the g.o.a.t then who is. I think Crosby is the best of all time because putting him in Gretzkys era Crosby would be the more dominant player. Can't say the same for Gretzky in today's game.
Crosby was the leading scorer only twice in his 11 playing seasons.Gretzky was the leading scorer 10 times.Crosby doesn't come close.And Crosby was the leading playoff scorer only once.Gretzky 6 Times.
Jeffrey Kaufmann Because there was no balance in the game back then. Over 90% of the players back then were literal plugs with skates on, then there's the goaltending, game structure, play setups now. If you were a good player back then you literally dominated the league because most of the others were pylons. The 4th liners and subs we have in the game would've dominated hockey in that era, think about it.
Keshaun Scott Crosby did not dominate his era.He won the art Ross trophy only twice.Even jagr was more dominant.he won it 5 times.Gretzky won it 10 times.Crosby won the hart trophy only twice.Ovechkin three times.Gretzky nine times.You can't transfer Crosby to another era.Any female tennis player in the top 100 today would destroy the best female player that played in the 1930s.According to your twisted logic any female tennis player in the top 100 should be considered one of the greatest of all time.When Gretzky was in his prime he had sometimes 50-79 more points than 2nd guy.And had Gretzky not been traded to Los Angeles and remained an Oiler he would have ended up with at least 3300 points.
I love Crosby because he always comes home and inspires the next generation of Crosby's, he is a National treasure, thank you Sid.
Canada sucks
Gg
😀😀😀🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’m a humanamerican
Crosby’s highlights are just so smooth compared to others. Makes hockey look easy.
Imagine a Crosby without concussions... Now that’s a Damn Good Player
He's already a damn good player he'd be a Gretzky probably without his injuries
Do you even watch hockey moron, or do you just like looking stupid as fuck??

All these idiots claiming Crosby is the GOAT, he is not even the best penguin, Mario and Jagr were better players than him.
Agree
Mario lemieux was 10x better
harder era than who? crosby is playing in the easiest era the sport has ever had. you can't even hit guys anymore.

I´m not that much of an expert to determine who is the "best", but damn, he is just incredible.
I'm from Nova Scotia, I remember him playing after me every second Saturday morning. I'm very proud of him.
Great video. As a Canadian I was proud and knew he was putting points up. Look at the quality of the goals he is scoring. Thank you for posting.
The advertising in the middle of this beautiful video breaks my pleasure
If Gretzky played with the amount skill Sid has today, he would’ve had unfathomable records
Agreed. Numbers were higher back then if you were one of the only superstars alive and scoring was way higher in general. Dude wouldn't score 80 points in today hockey tho.

Feels great to have watch the most dominate player to ever play the game besides Mario, but era wise gretz would have a hard time keeping up with the kid. Or put Sid back then he'd average 5+ points per game against those beer league tendys.
Nathan Mcdonald Crosbys career would be ended from all the tough guys back then. Plus Crosby would NEVER score more than 170 points back then.
Jackson Unreal you're right. He'd get 300 points back then.
CZcams Sucks lol read my comment I'm right? Lol. I said he wouldn't get more than 170 points
CZcams Sucks what art thou smoking?
Jackson Unreal and I'm telling you that you're wrong. He'd be at least 2 leagues ahead of what the NHL was in Gretzky's era.
@2:41 this is the mindset that separates him from the rest
The ENTIRE LEAGUE was headhunting Crosby for years. Until they realized it wasn’t going to stop him.
Putting the puck off of Hanks head 😂😂
I think in terms of eras this is the best era of hockey in terms of talent. So if the best player in the best era of hockey is not the g.o.a.t then who is. I think Crosby is the best of all time because putting him in Gretzkys era Crosby would be the more dominant player. Can't say the same for Gretzky in today's game.
Crosby was the leading scorer only twice in his 11 playing seasons.Gretzky was the leading scorer 10 times.Crosby doesn't come close.And Crosby was the leading playoff scorer only once.Gretzky 6 Times.
Jeffrey Kaufmann Because there was no balance in the game back then. Over 90% of the players back then were literal plugs with skates on, then there's the goaltending, game structure, play setups now. If you were a good player back then you literally dominated the league because most of the others were pylons. The 4th liners and subs we have in the game would've dominated hockey in that era, think about it.
Because 🥅 where less. Padded in your way smaller and way less
Keshaun Scott Crosby did not dominate his era.He won the art Ross trophy only twice.Even jagr was more dominant.he won it 5 times.Gretzky won it 10 times.Crosby won the hart trophy only twice.Ovechkin three times.Gretzky nine times.You can't transfer Crosby to another era.Any female tennis player in the top 100 today would destroy the best female player that played in the 1930s.According to your twisted logic any female tennis player in the top 100 should be considered one of the greatest of all time.When Gretzky was in his prime he had sometimes 50-79 more points than 2nd guy.And had Gretzky not been traded to Los Angeles and remained an Oiler he would have ended up with at least 3300 points.
William Stewart A good player cannot dominate his era.Only excellent players can dominate an era no matter what the era is.
It’s generations: Gretzky, Crosby, McDavid
ALL CANADIAN
