@@pacmech100 If you look at his wikipedia. You're right for the first WHA. After being pushed back from June 2, a WHA draft took place on July 18, 2004 [1] in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Future superstar Sidney Crosby was the first pick; he turned down the league's three-year, $7.5 million offer. By August, however, things began to unravel: the WHA pulled the Quebec franchise[2] and Toronto, unable to find an arena, dropped out soon afterwards. The Florida-based franchise, apparently headed for Miami, then Jacksonville and finally Orlando, quietly expired. By September, the new WHA was down to four teams and had pushed its debut back to November.[3] By October, Dallas had folded and an announced "restructuring" never took place.[4]
It has to be crazy to deal with so much hate for just being great. Everyone who hates him can give their 1 off reasons, but in reality it's just for his skill.
Sorry, but Gretzky and Lemieux were better. You could also argue that Bobby Orr and Martin Brodeur were superior even though they played different positions.
Funny how you didn’t mention all the non calls the NHL referees failed to call penalties on a lot of the other NHL players who abused and hurt him. A lot of them gave him head shots that is the reason he had multiple concussions and played less games than Ovi. I also found it interesting when you didn’t comment on Ovi’s dirty hit on him in the playoff series against the Washington Capitals.
No doubt, Crosby is an offensive asset, but his +/- is 95th this season; thus, he can't be deemed as one of the best overall hockey players. He is currently 58th on all time list with +/- and he is going on 19 years. Compare to Bobby Orr with a +/- of 582 playing half as many years and as a defenseman. No comparison. If you go by points he is 12th, not in top ten.
+/- is a meaningless stat. And point totals cannot be compared when they are different eras. The rules and overall skill level are different. Look at defense. Defensemen don't just stand in front of their net now, they actually use finess and speed to win puck battles. Back then, if you were big and stood ok the right spot you were contributing defensively. We refer to the exact same type of players today as pylons. Gretzky is the goat because his skill level evolved the game. Crosby was the best in a game that has already evolved. Athletes today are a totally different beast than back then.
Really dont get why these superstars dont brand their own equipment with their house hold name brand. Give reebok, ccm , bauer a run for their money. Yeah.
Every NHL player has dirty plays. It happens to the most honest and greatest people and players. It’s always the same clips. Because there isn’t much more. Crosby takes so many cheap shots every game. He’s the greatest.
Click-bait. Has nothing to do with Crosby's lifestyle. Nothing to see here. And this fraudster wants subscribers? Give me a break! I've reported him for misinformation. And this is not his first offence!
Just have to throw a set of titties on thumbnail to get more clicks 😅 I watched the whole thing and not 1 set of titties. Sid’s list of accomplishments is incredible.

Lmao. When you make clickbait crap videos, you're not going to get subs that way.
@@theguywithone I stopped watching when they talked about him being drafted by the WHA, it folded before he was born.

The best, now 36 years old and still going strong.

Couldn’t agree more!

@@johngreen3844 Brodeur? lol bud your dreaming
Greatest two way
Simple as that
Greatest player of his generation, one of the greatest of all time.
Fixed it for you.
I love Crosby ❤️
Crosby is the goat.
Hard to disagree!

1:20 He gets bullied out of his own country, so becomes a stud in another one.
Love it
He’s a Canadian National treasure. Terrible comment
Best player ever .
Crosby is the Goat 🐐 Top no.1
Great video, lots of facts I did not know!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great player and has the stats etc. to prove it!! RRM
One of the all time greats! Thanks for watching!
Grew up penguins fan
Lemeuix jagr
Im born in vancouver i did love bure
Crosby top 3 penguin all time
Facts
I appreciate the info, but you seemed to forget the number times he was on the short end of the cheap shot(s).
I did a couple of segments about it. I agree with you
Now ,what about his lifestyle?
Great hockey player!
I agree

I’m sorry imagine having to respond to 2 peers comments and it’s Sidney friggin Crosby
Sidney Crosby has won all there is to win for a professional hockey player. Only an idiot won say he is overpaid. He is better than Ovi.
Do mark girodano next he wasn’t even drafted
Great idea!
Really dont get why these superstars dont brand their own equipment with their house hold name brand. Give reebok, ccm , bauer a run for their money. Yeah.
Good idea
Design, manufacturing, marketing, administration… Easy to go bankrupt quickly
A Costello has to look after a Crosby ...way it goes, flows 😊
The parents who bullied him are not good parents.They are despicable and still despicable today bc they probably still hate him to this day.
Crosby dwarfs wayne gretzky! Gretzky played at a time when all players were mediocre!
Click bait. Obviously not a Crosby fan making this.
Actually I am, nice try though
Have you seen the abuse he’s put up with? The head shots are particularly bothersome.
Every NHL player has dirty plays. It happens to the most honest and greatest people and players. It’s always the same clips. Because there isn’t much more. Crosby takes so many cheap shots every game. He’s the greatest.
Here's a name for you: Patrick Marleau.
Challenge: find me a dirty play.
How does he go from $166M in earnings to a net worth of $51M?
Taxes, agent fees, spendings, assets vs liabilities etc…
@@NHLLifestyleThanks...How much do those agents make?
Nedra’s will never match Crosby.
Concussion protocol 🫠✌
Have you seen his $6 million summer home?
Not yet
@@NHLLifestyle it’s next door to McKinnon but he put it up for sale . It overlooks a beautiful lake
@@caperboy1169 Does Nate still own the house next to Sid's? I read 1 or 2 years ago that he was going to sell it.
@@dzidziolus it was on the market but I don’t know if it sold
@@caperboy1169 thanks. First Nate wanted to sell his house and now Sid? Maybe there's too many boats with strangers going by 🤔

You’re a hero
I just assume that since he lives in Pittsburgh, his life would be pretty shite.
WHA.
It disbanded in 1979.
8 years before he was born.
😂😂😂😂
I stopped there.
That’s not what I said
Wha? He wasn’t even born
These videos are not what you think 😅
8+7 = 15 🧐🤔
In Oceanic, where's the fucking H ???
And ????????????
Just have to throw a set of titties on thumbnail to get more clicks 😅 I watched the whole thing and not 1 set of titties. Sid’s list of accomplishments is incredible.
“Of his generation” lol more like ever.
Arguable
Biggest crybaby diver ever
